In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Semantic Scholar: The Brahmayāmalatantra (dissertation)Teramvā (तेरम्वा) is the name of a Yoginī corresponding to Durgā Mahiṣāsuramardinī.—The non-Sanskrit names of some goddesses might suggest locally meaningful identities. Dehejia draws attention to the Yoginī labelled “Teramvā” at the Bherāghāt temple, identical to Durgā “Mahiṣāsuramardinī” in iconographic type. One might mention the cow-faced Eruḍi of the same site. See ibid., 133–36. However, the name Teramvā, in the Sanskrit form tryambakā, is an attested name of the spouse-goddess of Śiva; cf. Kaulajñānanirṇaya 14.28. In both vernacular and Sanskrit forms, this occurs in pan-Indian sources as a personal name (in the masculine) and as the name of a Śaiva monastic order (maṭhikā).
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.
