Source: HAL: Religious and secular organization of the Khmer temple from the 7th to the 13th centuryRūpyārghya (रूप्यार्घ्य) or Rūpyārgha refers to a “silver arghya water vase”—Cf. Arghya: in Sanskrit “that which is worthy of being honored”, and by extension, the water that we offer to guests – in our case to the gods – to honor them. As for the term Pādya, it designates “water for washing the feet of guests”. With Ācamanīya, the purifying “drinking water”, they form a triad of consecrated waters offered respectively on the head (arghya), the feet (pādya) and the mouth (ācamanīya) of the deities. [...] Note: Concerning arghya, it should be noted that the spelling variant argha is encountered in the inscriptions K. 1034 D (i.e., arghapādya mās—“(vase) with arghya waters and pādya in gold”); and K. 1198 A (i.e., rūpyārgha—“silver arghya water vase”).
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.
