In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (philosophy)Pratibhāsasamuttha (प्रतिभाससमुत्थ) refers to “(that which) arises from the manifestation” (of the generality consisting in causality), according to the Vṛtti on the Īśvarapratyabhijñāvivṛtivimarśinī 2.163.—Accordingly, “To the [question:] ‘But how is it that in the cognition that the clay is a cause with respect to the pot, [we] apprehend the seed too as a cause?,’ [Utpaladeva] replies [with the expression] ‘that which is intrinsically linked [with the notion of cause in general].’ And this intrinsic link arises from the manifestation (pratibhāsasamuttha) of the generality [consisting in] causality—this is what [Utpaladeva] means”.
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.
