Bisschop --Bibliography /Peter C. Bisschop --Index /Peter C. Bisschop.In Universal Śaivism Peter Bisschop provides a critical edition and annotated translation of the sixth chapter of the Śivadharmaśāstra `Treatise on the Religion of Śiva’, the so-called Śāntyadhyāya 'Chapter on Appeasement’. The Sanskrit text is preceded by an extensive introduction on its composition, transmission and edition. The Śivadharmaśāstra has arguably played a crucial role in the formation, development and institutionalisation of Śaivism. Through a detailed study of its extensive śānti mantra, Peter Bisschop shows how the text advocates a system in which all worldly and cosmic power is ultimately dependent upon Śiva. The mantra itself is a mine of information on the evolving pantheon of early Brahmanical Hinduism. Thanks to generous support of the J. Gonda Fund Foundation, the e-book version of this volume is available in Open Access.Gonda Indological Studies18.SaivismCriticism, interpretation, etc.fastHistory.fastReligionAsiaŚaivismSaivism.294.5/513Bisschop Peter Christiaan1973-864682NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910315232903321Universal Saivism2278207UNINA
