Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraSugandhighṛta (सुगन्धिघृत) refers to “fragrant ghee”, 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 6.9-15ab]—“[...] Even for someone gone to Yama’s abode [i.e., someone who has died], great peace arises quickly. Mṛtyujit is sure to destroy death when pleased with an oblation of fragrant ghee (sugandhighṛta-homa) put into a fire fueled by milk-tree wood”.
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.
