Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraDarpāpaha (दर्पापह) refers to “removing the (enemy’s) arrogance”, according to the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 6.32cd-36ab]—“[...] [The Mantrin] should place [the mantra] in the middle of honey, together with completely white offerings. After acting this way for seven days, he becomes Mṛtyujit. [The Mantrin] explains to kings how best to protect kings. [Protection] removes the enemy’s arrogance (ripu-darpāpaha) and grants favors at the time of battle”.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) 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.
