岵 (सिद्धागम) or simply Siddha refers to one of the twenty-eight Գ岵: a classification of the Śaiva division of Ś岵. The Ś岵 represent the wisdom that has come down from lord Śiva, received by Pārvatī and accepted by Viṣṇu. The Ś岵 are divided into four groups viz. Śaiva, Pāśupata, Soma and Lākula. Śaiva is further divided in to Dakṣiṇa, Vāma and Siddhānta (e.g., -岵).

According to the پṃh theory of Āgama origin and relationship (sambandha), it was ś who first imparted the 岵 through parasambandha to Bindu, who then imparted it through ԲԻ to Caṇḍeśvara who then, through divya-sambandha, transmitted it to the Devas who, through 徱徱ⲹ-Ի, transmitted it to the Ṛṣis who finally, through adivya-sambandha, revealed the 岵 to human beings (Manuṣya). (also see Anantaśambhu’s commentary on the Siddhāntasārāvali of Trilocanaśivācārya)

The Upāgamas for 岵 are: Sārottara, Auśanottara, Śālābheda and Śaśikhaṇḍa. The purpose of revealing Upāgamas is to explain more elaborately than that of Mūlāgamas and to include any new idea if not dealt in Mūlāgamas.
