In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraPāśaugha (पाशौघ) refers to the “massive bonds”, 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 4.10]—“[...] He teaches that after the [Mantrin has] first, correctly understood this expansive [rite] from the Svacchanda Tantra, [and other texts], he should put it into practice. The eye of Śiva is greater than all. It bestows on those rich in devotion, immersion in the highest abode, [and he] burns away of all the massive bonds (pāśaugha-ploṣa—jayatyaśeṣapāśaughaploṣakṛd)”.
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.
