In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Saṃvibhāgaruci (संविभागरुचि) refers to “one who takes pleasure in sharing (one’s food)” (with others), according to the Pātravidhi—a manual of the Lakulīśa Pāśupata school of Śaivism dealing with purification of the initiate’s vessel (pātra) and other concerned issues.—Accordingly, “Jugglery, deceit, feigning, and separation of a wife and a man, and attraction: an ascetic should avoid these five possible flaws in alms-collection. (26) [...] An ascetic who takes pleasure in sharing (saṃvibhāgaruci) [his food] with others always harms the four: the [alms-]giver, the food, himself, and the one to whom he proffers [a portion of] the food. (30)”.
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.
