پ (अतिमार्ग) refers to the “outer path�.—The Teaching of Śiva which defines the Śaivas is divided between two great branches or “streams� (srotas). These are termed the Outer Path (پ) and the Path of Mantras (Գٰ). The first is accessible only to ascetics, while the second is open both to ascetics and to married home-dwellers (ṛhٳ). There is also a difference of goals.The پ is entered for salvation alone, while the Mantramārga promises both this, and for those that so wish, the attainment of supernatural powers (siddhis) and the experience of supernatural pleasures in the worlds of their choice (bhoga).
