Original text · English · adjective

śaiva śaiva, as, ī, am (fr. śiva), relating or belonging to the god Śiva; (as), m. ‘a worshipper or follower of Śiva,’ N. of one of the three great divisions of modern Hindū sects, (the other two being the Vaiṣṇavas and Śāktas, see vaiṣṇava, śākta; the Śaivas believe in the superiority of Śiva to the other gods of the Tri-mūrti, and identify him with the Supreme Being as the destroying principle as well as source and essence of the whole universe; the temples dedicated to him in his popular symbol of the Liṅga [see śiva] are very numerous every- where, but the doctrines of the Śaivas as represented by their great teachers, such as Śaṅkara, are too philosophical for the majority of the people, who are more attracted by Viṣṇu, especially in his forms of Kṛṣṇa and Rāma: various divisions of Śaiva sects have prevailed at different times, the earlier divisions being those of the Raudras who have the Tri-śūla or trident marked on their foreheads, the Ugras who have the Ḍamaru or drum on their arms, the Bhāktas who have the Liṅga on their foreheads, the Jaṅgamas who have that symbol on their heads, and the Pāśupatas who have it marked on other parts of their bodies; the more modern divisions being the Daṇḍins or mendicant staff- bearers, including the Daś-nāmī-daṇḍins [cf. śaṅka- rācārya], the Yogins who cultivate absorption into Śiva by suppression of breathing, fixing of the eyes, and eighty-four different attitudes, the Jaṅgamas or Liṅgavats, the Parama-haṃsas, the Aghorins, the Ūrdhva-bāhus, the Ākāśa-mukhins, and many others); a particular religious rite in honour of Durgā (con- sisting of devout meditation and prostration of the body); the thorn-apple; another plant or tree, = vasuka; (ī), f., N. of the goddess Manasā; (am), n. the Śiva-Purāṇa; the aquatic plant Vallisneria Octandra (= śaivāla).
