Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: Shodhganga: Iconographical representations of 艢iva础峁兣泆 (啶呧啶多) or Ambu is the name of a deity who was imparted with the knowledge of the 础峁兣泆mad腻驳补尘补 by 厂补诲腻艣颈惫补 through parasambandha, according to the 辫谤补迟颈蝉补峁僪颈迟腻 theory of 膧gama origin and relationship (sambandha). The 补峁兣泆尘补诲补-腻驳补尘补, being part of the ten 艢ivabhed腻驳补尘补s, refers to one of the twenty-eight Siddh膩nt腻驳补尘补s: a classification of the 艢aiva division of 艢aiv腻驳补尘补s. The 艢aiv腻驳补尘补s represent the wisdom that has come down from lord 艢iva, received by P膩rvat墨 and accepted by Vi峁ａ箛u.
Ambu in turn transmitted the 础峁兣泆mad腻驳补尘补 (through 尘补丑腻苍蝉补尘产补苍诲丑补) to Ugra, who then transmitted it to Ravi who then, through divya-sambandha, transmitted it to the Devas who, through 诲颈惫测腻诲颈惫测补-蝉补尘产补苍诲丑补, transmitted it to the 峁氠梗is who finally, through adivya-sambandha, revealed the 础峁兣泆mad腻驳补尘补 to human beings (Manu峁a). (also see Ananta艣ambhu鈥檚 commentary on the Siddh膩ntas膩r膩vali of Trilocana艣iv膩c膩rya)
Shaiva (啶多啶�, 艣aiva) or Shaivism (艣aivism) 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.

Source: Wisdom Library: Brihat Samhita by Varahamihira础峁兣泆 (啶呧啶多) refers to the 鈥渞ays鈥� (of the moon), according to the B峁沨atsa峁僪it膩 (chapter 4), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work written by Var膩hamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian astronomy astronomy (Jyoti峁).鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淚f the disc of the moon that regularly waxes and wanes should appear white resembling the colour of the Kumuda flower or that of the stem of the lotus or if the moon鈥檚 course or disc or rays [i.e., 补峁兣泆] should suffer no irregular change there will be prosperity in the land. During the waxing moon, the Br膩hmins, the K峁triyas and mankind at large will prosper; and during the waning moon, they will suffer miseries. The increase of prosperity will commence after the new-moon and of adversity after the full moon鈥�.
Jyotisha (啶溹啶啶むた啶�, 箩测辞迟颈峁 or jyotish) refers to 鈥榓stronomy鈥� or 鈥淰edic astrology鈥� and represents the fifth of the six Vedangas (additional sciences to be studied along with the Vedas).

In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections础峁兣泆 (啶呧啶多) refers to the 鈥�(sun) beams (of knowledge)鈥�, according to the 11th century J帽膩n膩r峁嘺va, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by 艢ubhacandra.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淭hose who know the self certainly destroy mental darkness, which is produced by the great quantity of ignorance [and] is a barrier to reality, with the sunbeams of knowledge (j帽膩na-s奴rya-补峁兣泆). One who is restrained who is intent on stopping the influx of karma fearlessly drives away the discharge of the poison of non-restraint with the nectar waters of true restraint鈥�.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
