Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraUnmīlitalocana (उन्मीलितलोचन) refers to “opened eyes” (in meditation), 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 11.1-24ab, while describing the appearance and worship of Tumburu]—“[...] Gāyatrī is a beautiful red color, adorned with one face, sitting in the bound lotus seat, the eye opened in meditation (dhyāna-unmīlitalocanā). Sāvitrī is the color white, eyes gone to inward meditation. The devī Māyā is dark and four armed [One of her] pair [of arms] hold a great cloth that conceals the world”.
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.
