Parigraha (परिग्रह) refers to “accepted” (e.g., Śaiva teachings that were ‘accepted’ by men learned in the Veda).—Rāmakaṇṭha does not passively acknowledge the authority of the Veda. He tries to defend the validity of Śaiva teachings and deny their hitherto heretical status by invoking their ‘orthodox’ character: Śaiva teachings are legitimate because they do not contradict the Veda (vedāvirodha) and because they are accepted (parigraha) by men learned in the Veda. Rāmakaṇṭha too practises a form of religious inclusivism in the way he acknowledges the authority of the Veda not for itself, but arguably in order to make his own views and practices acceptable to what is a fundamentally brahminical society. Rāmakaṇṭha’s views are also defended and elaborated upon in the writings of Aghoraśivācārya (fl. 1157) and his disciples, who pursued the Kashmirian Saiddhāntika tradition in South India.
