Source: eScholarship: The descent of scripture: a history of the KamikagamaVājinirājana (वाजिनिराजन) refers to the “pacifitory rite of ‘Vāji’ lamp-waving”, according to the Kāmikāgama: an ancient Śaiva Āgama scripture in 12,000 Sanskrit verses dating to at least the 5th century and represented as an encyclopedic account of ritual instructions (kriyāpāda).—In modern print editions, the Kāmika-āgama is structured in two major parts. The Uttarabhāga consists of 98 chapters (paṭalas) [...] In Chapter 77, we find an account of practices prescribed for the ceremonial worship of Durgā. Chapters 78 details the pacifitory rite of “Vāji” lamp-waving (vājinirājana), and Chapter 79 expounds the practice of lamp-waving for kings.
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.
