In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: Brill: 艢aivism and the Tantric Traditions厂辞尘补蝉颈诲诲丑腻苍迟颈苍 (啶膏啶じ啶苦う啷嵿ぇ啶距え啷嵿い啶苦え啷�) refers to 鈥淭hose of the Soma Doctrine鈥� and is another name for the K膩p膩likas (鈥渟kull-bearers鈥�), who were perhaps the most notorious 艢aiva ascetics of classical India. They were known for their cremation ground rituals and for wandering around with a skull for an alms bowl. The skull (办补辫腻濒补), their most conspicuous attribute, also provided their name. But the K膩p膩likas are also designated as 厂辞尘补蝉颈诲诲丑腻苍迟颈苍s, 鈥淭hose of the Soma Doctrine鈥�, or the 鈥淪oma People with the Skull鈥�. These appellations seem to have been of some importance because their initiation names also included or ended in -soma in most cases (e.g. Satyasoma, Devasom膩, 厂辞尘颈产丑补峁弓腻谤补办补).
Note: The term 厂辞尘补蝉颈诲诲丑腻苍迟颈苍 figures in the Pau峁arav峁泃ti of J帽膩naprak膩艣膩c膩rya, IFP transcript no. 110, p. 591. They are also called 鈥淜nowers of the Doctrine of Soma鈥� (蝉辞尘补蝉颈诲诲丑腻苍迟补惫别诲颈苍 [蝉辞尘补蝉颈诲诲丑腻苍迟补惫别诲颈苍a岣�] in Sarvaj帽膩nottara 14.4, edited by Goodall), which could be corrupt for 蝉辞尘补蝉颈诲诲丑腻苍迟补惫腻诲颈苍 [蝉辞尘补蝉颈诲诲丑腻苍迟补惫腻诲颈苍a岣�], 鈥淭hose who Profess the Doctrine of Soma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.

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.
