In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraTṛtīyabīja (तृतीयबीज) refers to the “third seed (sa)”, according to the Netratantroddyota commentary on 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 22.17ab]—“Then, that which is Śiva, that domain that consists of nothing but consciousness and is named Paramaśiva, which is denoted by such terms as svarūpa, which has been previously explained. Together with visarga, fused with highest truth together with [the highest level of mantra] unmanāśakti, which is the highest autonomy. By means of that bliss of the nectar of Śiva, which has been obtained by firmly settling oneself in the practice of the third seed (sa) [e.g., tṛtīyabīja]”.
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.
