Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraParāparavibhūti (परापरविभूति) refers to the “transcendent and imminent power”, according to the Netratantroddyota commentary on 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 4.1-2ab]—“[The thirty-six [are those] beginning with earth and ending with śiva [i.e., the complete set of thirty-six tattvas]. [...] The one is śivatattva, which pervades all. For the expansion of both transcendent and imminent power (parāparavibhūti) means, both mokṣa and bhoga may be accomplished in all these without difference]”.
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.
