Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram (shaivism)Paramādvaya (परमाद्वय) refers to “supreme unity”, according to the Mahānayaprakāśa by Arṇasiṃha (Cf. verse 182-197).—Accordingly, “[...] Those rays of consciousness [...] are the best of Siddhas, [...] reside in the abode of the Void (of pure consciousness) in the form of the perceiving subject.—They are manifestations of the perception of the unfolding of the Fourth State along with (those) called waking, dreaming and deep sleep which, endowed with supreme unity (paramādvaya-dharmin), always abide with the highest (energies of consciousness)”
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.
