In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: OAPEN: Reverberations of Dharmakīrti‘s Philosophy (sh)Sarvapāśa (सर्वपाश) refers to “all bonds”, according to Sarvajñānottara Vidyāpāda 8-9.—Poison was a stock example for the Saiddhāntikas. In the Sarvajñānottara we read: “Just as the toxicologist, through the power of visualizations and seed-mantras, effects the removal of poison, so the Ācārya effects a disjunction with the bonds through Śaiva [initiation] rituals. Just as a suppression of poison [takes place] by the power of mantras and herbs, so there takes place a suppression of all bonds (sarvapāśa) through initiation”.
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.
