In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Svarūpin (स्वरूपिन्) refers to “that which has an essence”, according to the Īśvarapratyabhijñāvimarśinī (KSTS vol. 65, 330).—Accordingly, “When one begins to contemplate ‘What is the reality of the body, etc.?’ [and subsequently realizes] “it is simply a form of awareness, replete with the Light of Consciousness,” then those [levels] from the Void to the body manifest as [they really are,] of one essence with Awareness (bodha-svarūpin), as if transmuted by its elixir. [...]”.
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.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Svarūpin (स्वरूपिन्) (Cf. Svarūpiṇī) refers to “one who assumes a particular form”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.33 (“The appeasement of Himavat”).—Accordingly, as Vasiṣṭha said to Himavat (Himācala): “[...] The primordial nature, born of Śiva, maintains threefold forms in the creative activity, partially out of sport with diverse digits. Vāṇī, the deity presiding over the activity of speech, is born of his mouth; Lakṣmī, in the form of riches (sarvasampat-svarūpiṇī), is born out of his chest. Pārvatī manifested herself in the splendours of the gods. After killing all the demons she granted riches and glory to the gods. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
