In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Vismāpana (विस्मापन):—Creating surprise
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Vismāpana (विस्मापन) or “shocking” refers to one of the five “wrongful appropriation of things” (anupālambha), according to Kauṇḍinya (in his Bhāṣya on the Pāśupatasūtra).
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.
