In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Samyagyaṣṭa (सम्यग्यष्ट) refers to “having properly performed a sacrifice”, 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, “Whatsoever is the reward of having properly performed (samyagyaṣṭa) one thousand horse sacrifices, that reward a Yogin obtains by eating from the vessel [even] for a single day. Whoever drinks water contained in [the ascetic’s] vessel after enjoying food, that man of controlled senses obtains the same reward; thus speak Brāhmaṇas—the expounders of brahman, [i.e. the Vedas]. (66–67)”.
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.
