Kavya (poetry)
: OpenEdition books: 痴颈惫颈诲丑补迟墨谤迟丑补办补濒辫补岣� (K膩vya)狈颈诲丑颈惫腻诲补 (啶ㄠた啶оた啶掂ぞ啶�) in Sanskrit refers to the 鈥渁rt of discovering treasures鈥�, as is mentioned in the 痴颈惫颈诲丑补迟墨谤迟丑补办补濒辫补 by Jinaprabhas奴ri (13th century A.D.): an ancient text devoted to various Jaina holy places (迟墨谤迟丑补蝉).

Kavya (啶曕ぞ啶掂啶�, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or 鈥榚pic poetry鈥� and natya, or 鈥榙ramatic poetry鈥�.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: Semantic Scholar: The Brahmay膩malatantra (dissertation)狈颈诲丑颈惫腻诲补 (啶ㄠた啶оた啶掂ぞ啶�) refers to 鈥渟eeking hidden treasure by magical means鈥� as found in B膩峁嘺鈥檚 reference. Compare for instance chapter nine of the U岣嶀笉膩mare艣varatantra, which makes several references to obtaining wealth or hidden treasures as the result of ritual. For more detailed accounts, see the Buddhist Ma帽ju艣r墨m奴lakalpa, e.g. chapter 55.
: eScholarship: The role of religious experience in the traditions of Tantric Shaivism狈颈诲丑颈惫腻诲补 (啶ㄠた啶оた啶掂ぞ啶�) refers to the art of 鈥渓ocating forgotten buried treasures鈥�.鈥擨n the narrative literature, we see K膩p膩likas repeatedly depicted as experts in the management of malevolent spirits and other occult arts, such as locating forgotten buried treasures (苍颈诲丑颈惫腻诲补). One of the best examples is the depiction in the Nemicandra鈥檚 膧khy膩nakama峁噄ko艣a of a Mah膩vratin named Ghora艣iva who is 鈥渁n expert in the control of Grahas, Pi艣膩cas, and 岣屇乲in墨s, in curing fevers and other illnesses with herbal amulets, in propitiating Yak峁峁嚹玸, in alchemy (诲丑腻迟耻惫腻诲补), in counteracting poisons, and in all the aggressive magical arts鈥�.鈥�(cf. Sanderson, 艢aivism and Br膩hmanism Lectures, Handout 6, 20 November 2012).
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled 啶膏啶膏啶曕啶むぎ啷� (蝉补峁僺办峁泃补尘), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
