The 艢补颈惫腻驳补尘补蝉 represent the wisdom that has come down from lord 艢iva, received by P腻rvat墨 and accepted by Vi峁ａ箛u. The purpose of revealing 耻辫腻驳补尘补蝉 (e.g., 痴腻尘补 膧驳补尘补) is to explain more elaborately than that of 尘奴濒腻驳补尘补蝉 (e.g., Cintya-腻gama) and to include any new idea if not dealt in 尘奴濒腻驳补尘补蝉.
: Brill: 艢aivism and the Tantric Traditions1) 痴腻尘补 (啶掂ぞ啶�) refers to the 鈥渓eft (side)鈥�, according to the Guhyas奴tra chapter 9.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淸...] [The Lord spoke]:鈥擺...] On one half, there should be a forehead mark; on one half a [forehead] eye. A ring [should be] in one ear; a [pendant] ear-ornament in one ear. He should put a trident in his right hand and a breast on his left side (惫腻尘补-p腻r艣va), a girdle on the left half, a bangle on the left arm, a woman鈥檚 anklet on the left leg, a man鈥檚 anklet on the right leg and a 尘耻帽箩补-grass belt. At the hips, he should put a loin-cloth on the right and wear a woman鈥檚 garment on the left.鈥�.
2) 痴腻尘补 (啶掂ぞ啶�) or 痴腻尘补bh腻ga refers to 鈥�(one鈥檚) left side鈥�, according to the 13th-century Matsyendrasa峁僪it腻: a Kubjik腻-Tripur腻 oriented Tantric Yoga text of the 峁岣峚nvaya艣腻mbhava tradition from South India.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淸Visualisation of Parame艣vara]:鈥擺...] He is in the prime of his youth and has all the auspicious characteristics.

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.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram1) 痴腻尘腻 (啶掂ぞ啶ぞ) refers to the Goddess (of the Practice of the Left鈥�惫腻尘腻肠腻谤补), according to the second recension of the Yogakha峁囜笉a of the Manth腻nabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjik腻.鈥擳he goddess is both the Triangle and the Point (bindu) in the centre of it. The former is called 鈥�bhaga鈥欌�攖he Womb. The latter is the living being (箩墨惫补) it contains, which is formed by the union of the male and female seed. This 鈥渂all of vital seed鈥� is feminine. Generated by the fusion of opposites, it is the androgynous embryonic goddess. It rotates in an anticlockwise direction, that is, to the left鈥�惫腻尘腻鈥攁nd it is the woman鈥�惫腻尘腻鈥攚ho is the goddess 痴腻尘腻 of the Practice of the Left (惫腻尘腻肠腻谤补).
The Kubjik腻matatantra seems to say little more than that the goddess is called the 鈥榞oddess of the left鈥� because she extends her left hand. Normally impure, this is the hand used for special Tantric rituals which, therefore, came to be called those of the 鈥榣eft hand鈥�. As the left is the feminine side, the side of power (艣补办迟颈), magical, worldly and spiritual accomplishment (siddhi), such rites are generally related to goddesses or feminine beings who aid the adept to achieve these things.
2) 痴腻尘腻 (啶掂ぞ啶ぞ) or 痴腻尘腻granthi refers to 鈥湷漳宄灸邂�檚 Knot鈥� and represents one of the 鈥渟ixteen knots鈥� (granthi), according to the 峁峁璼腻hasrasa峁僪it腻, an expansion of the Kubjik腻matatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjik腻 cult.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥�(1) The Knot called Ananta, which is HA峁係A, should be placed (on the body). It is at the middle toe of the sixteen parts (of the body). The Knot of Time is below the ankle. [...] (4) Jye峁ａ弓h腻鈥檚 Knot is below the hip and (5) 痴腻尘腻鈥檚 Knot is (above) on the other side. [...]鈥�.
The sixteen Knots [i.e., 惫腻尘腻-granthi] are parts of the goddess鈥檚 body. Accordingly, they are projected into the adept鈥檚 body to transform it into the Triple Fort, that is, the triangular body of the goddess replete with the energies of the sacred seats. She is both with form, consisting of the letters and mantras, and without form as the Transmental (尘补苍辞苍尘补苍墨) energy of the god.
: Shodhganga: Iconographical representations of 艢iva (shaktism)痴腻尘补 (啶掂ぞ啶�) or 痴腻尘补tantra refers to one of the thirty-three Dak峁峁嘺tantras, belonging to the 艢腻办迟腻驳补尘补 (or 艢腻ktatantra) division of the 膧驳补尘补 tradition. The 艢腻办迟腻驳补尘补s represent the wisdom imparted by Dev墨 to 莫艣vara and convey the idea that the worship of 艢akti is the means to attain liberation. According to the Prati峁ａ弓h腻lak峁峁嘺samuccaya of Vairocana, the 艢腻ktatantras are divided into to four parts, the 痴腻尘补-tantra belonging to the Dak峁峁嘺 class.
: Shodhganga: Saudarya Lahari of Sri Sankara A Study痴腻尘腻 (啶掂ぞ啶ぞ) refers to one of the 52 rays of the Svadhi峁ａ弓h腻na-Cakra which (together with the 56 rays of the M奴l腻dh腻ra) are associated with the fiery plane called Rudragranthi, according to 艢a峁卥ar腻c腻rya鈥檚 Saudaryalahar墨.鈥擜ccordingly, the Goddess is visualised (by S腻dhaka) as dwelling above the six 膧dh腻racakras ruling over the 360 rays which emanate in them [e.g., 痴腻尘腻]. These 360 rays represent 360 syllables (i.e., a consummation of the 艣补产诲补辫谤补辫补帽肠补 or 50 alphabets) as well as the principles of nature. For the 360 syllables, together with 丑补峁� and 蝉补岣�, Ny腻sa should be performed for 艢r墨cakra辫奴箩腻.

: Shodhganga: Iconographical representations of 艢iva (pancaratra)痴腻尘补 (啶掂ぞ啶�) or 痴腻尘补sa峁僪it腻 is the name of a Vai峁ａ箛ava 膧驳补尘补 scripture, classified as a 迟腻尘补蝉补 type of the Muniprokta group of P腻帽car腻tra 膧驳补尘补s. The 惫补颈峁ａ箛补惫腻驳补尘补蝉 represent one of the three classes of 腻驳补尘补蝉 (traditionally communicated wisdom).鈥擳exts of the P腻帽cara 膧驳补尘补s are divided in to two sects. It is believed that Lord V腻sudeva revealed the first group of texts which are called Divya and the next group is called Muniprokta which are further divided in to three viz. a. S腻ttvika. b. R腻jasa. c. T腻masa (e.g., 痴腻尘补-sa峁僪it腻).

In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Jainism痴腻尘腻 (啶掂ぞ啶ぞ) is the mother of 笔腻谤艣惫补苍腻迟丑补 according to 艢vet腻mbara (but she is named Varmil腻 according to Digambara), according to the 膧c腻radinakara (14th century work on Jain conduct written by Vardha尘腻na S奴ri). 笔腻谤艣惫补苍腻迟丑补 is the twenty-third of twenty-four T墨rtha峁卥aras in Janism. A T墨rtha峁卥ara is an enlightened being who has conquered 蝉补峁僺腻谤补 (cycle of birth and death), leaving behind him a path for others to follow.
The husband of 痴腻尘腻 is A艣vasena. It is an ancient Jain practice to worship the T墨rtha峁卥ara鈥檚 parents in various rites, such as the 辫谤补迟颈峁ａ弓丑腻惫颈诲丑颈.
: archive.org: The Jaina Iconography痴腻尘腻 (啶掂ぞ啶ぞ) or Brah尘腻 is the mother of 笔腻谤艣惫补苍腻迟丑补: the twenty-third of twenty-four T墨rt丑补峁僰aras or Jinas, commonly depicted in Jaina iconography.鈥敱誓灏洷共共阅宄俪蟛� was probably born about 817 and died about 717 B.C. His father A艣vasena was the King of Benares. His mother鈥檚 name was 痴腻尘腻 or Brah尘腻. P腻r艣va was a brave warrior and once he carried his victorious arms down to Kali峁単a.

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
