Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraNṛpasaṃnidhi (नृपसंनिधि) refers to “(worship) before the king”, according to the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 19.99cd-101ab, while describing the ritual that protect the king and his kingdom]—“Once [he has] venerated the water pot, [the Mantrin] should worship the Lokapālas and their weapons with flowers, guest water, and [other ritual] offerings before the king (nṛpasaṃnidhi). [The king] whose learned teachers constantly [perform these acts], [he] obtains what was said before [i.e. protection]”.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
