Śaiva-Āgama. Authoritative texts of
Śaivism, the earliest being written between 400–800 CE. The texts deal with Śaiva liturgy which involves
nyāsa, mudrā,
mantra, the construction of
yantras or
maṇḍalas and
visualization (
dhyāna), the construction of shrines and
temples, and
festivals. Interest in philosophy is somewhat limited and is mainly concerned with speculation on the power of speech and the
tattvas. Initiation (
dīkṣā) is important in the texts. The Āgamas theoretically follow a fourfold structure of
jñāna,
yoga,
kriya, and
carya padas, though this pattern is seldom strictly adhered to.
