In Hinduism
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarAsiddha (啶呧じ啶苦う啷嵿ぇ).鈥擨nvalid; of suspended validity for the time being: not functioning for the time being. The term is frequently used in P膩峁噄ni's system of grammar in connection with rules or operations which are prevented, or held in suspense, in connection with their application in the process of the formation of a word. The term (啶呧じ啶苦う啷嵿ぇ (asiddha)) is also used in connection with rules that have applied or operations that have taken place, which are, in certain cases, made invalid or invisible as far as their effect is concerned and other rules are applied or other operations are allowed to take place, which ordinarily have been prevented by those rules which are made invalid had they not been invalidated. P膩峁噄ni has laid down this invalidity on three different occasions (1) invalidity by the rule 啶啶班啶掂い啷嵿ぐ啶距じ啶苦う啷嵿ぇ啶 (辫奴谤惫补迟谤腻蝉颈诲诲丑补尘) VIII.2.1. which makes a rule or operation in the second, third and fourth quarters of the eighth chapter of the 础峁ａ弓腻诲丑测腻测墨 invalid when any preceding rule is to be applied, (2) invalidity by the rule 啶呧じ啶苦う啷嵿ぇ啶掂う啶む啶班ぞ啶ぞ啶む (补蝉颈诲诲丑补惫补诲补迟谤腻产丑腻迟) which enjoins mutual invalidity in the case of operations prescribed in the 膧bh墨ya section beginning with the rule 啶呧じ啶苦う啷嵿ぇ啶掂い啷嵿ぐ啶距き啶距い啷� (补蝉颈诲诲丑补惫补迟谤腻产丑腻迟) (VI. 4.22.) and going on upto the end of the P膩da (VI.4.175), (3) invalidity of the single substitute for two letters, that has already taken place, when 啶粪 (峁�) is to be substituted for 啶膏 (s), or the letter 啶む (t) is to be prefixed, cf. 啶粪い啷嵿さ啶む啶曕啶班じ啶苦う啷嵿ぇ啶� (峁迟惫补迟耻办辞谤补蝉颈诲诲丑补岣�) (VI. 1.86). Although P膩峁噄ni laid down the general rule that a subsequent rule or operation, in case of conflict, supersedes the preceding rule, in many cases it became necessary for him to set, that rule aside, which he did by means of the stratagem of invalidity given above. Subsequent grammarians found out a number of additional cases where it became necessary to supersede the subseguent rule which they did by laying down a dictum of invalidity similar to that of P膩峁噄ni. The author of the V膩rttikas, hence, laid down the doctrine that rules which are nitya or antara峁単a or apav膩da, are stronger than, and hence supersede, the anitya, bahira峁単a and utsarga rules respectively. Later gram marians have laid down in general, the invalidity of the bahira峁単a rule when the antara峁単a rule occurs along with it or subsequent to it. For details see Vol. 7 of Vvy膩kara峁嘺 Mah膩bh膩峁a(D. E. Society's edition) pages 217-220. See also Pari. 艢ek. Pari. 50.
Vyakarana (啶掂啶ぞ啶曕ぐ啶�, vy膩kara峁嘺) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramAsiddha (啶呧じ啶苦う啷嵿ぇ) refers to 鈥渙ne who is not accomplished鈥�, according to the Manth膩nabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjik膩.鈥擜ccordingly, while describing the signs of one who is not a Siddha: 鈥淗e is excessively tall, bald, deformed, short, dwarfish, his nose is ugly or he has black teeth and is wrathful. Some of his limbs are missing and is deceitful, cripple and deformed, foolish, inauspicious, envious, deluded, badly behaved, and violent; without any teacher, he is devoid of the rites, he maligns the Krama without cause, he is not devoted to the Siddhas, he (always) suffers and is without wisdom. He is (always) ill and one should know that he is (always) attached (to worldly objects) and has no scripture. He has no energy and is dull and lazy. Ugly, he lives by cheating and, cruel, he is deluded, and devoid of (any) sense of reality. Such is the characteristic of one who is not accomplished (asiddha) in a past life鈥�.
Shakta (啶多ぞ啶曕啶�, 艣膩kta) or Shaktism (艣膩ktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraAsiddha (啶呧じ啶苦う啷嵿ぇ) refers to 鈥渋mperfection鈥�, according to the Netratantra of K峁mar膩ja: a 艢aiva text from the 9th century in which 艢iva (Bhairava) teaches P膩rvat墨 topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.鈥擜ccordingly, [verse 21.6-9ab]鈥斺�淏ut, if [mantras consist of] the forms of 艢akti, whose 艢akti and of what kind? O Deva, what [does] 艢akti cause, what is her purpose, and of what kind is she? If [mantras] do not possess 艢akti, what is worshipped with 艢akti? Independence cannot be accomplished by anyone without perfection (siddha). What is conquerable [by one who is] imperfect (asiddha)? [...]鈥�.
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.
