The Deity Śiva

15 definitions

The auspicious one, the third deity of the Hindu triad, representing the destroying and reproducing power

‘The Auspicious one’, N. of the disintegrating or destroying and reproducing deity (who constitutes the third god of the Hindū Trimūrti or Triad, the other two being Brahmā ‘the creator’ and Viṣṇu ‘the preserver’; in the Veda the only N. of the destroying deity was Rudra ‘the terrible god’, but in later times it became usual to give that god the euphemistic N. Śiva ‘the auspicious’ [just as the Furies were called Εὐμενίδες ‘the gracious ones’], and to assign him the office of creation and reproduction as well as dissolution; in fact the preferential worship of Śiva as developed in the Purāṇas and Epic poems led to his being identified with the Supreme Being by his exclusive worshippers [called Śaivas]; in his character of destroyer he is sometimes called Kāla ‘black’, and is then also identified with ‘Time’, although his active destroying function is then oftener assigned to his wife under her name Kālī, whose formidable character makes her a general object of propitiation by sacrifices; as presiding over reproduction consequent on destruction Śiva's symbol is the Liṅga [q.v.] or Phallus, under which form he is worshipped all over India at the present day; again one of his representations is as Ardha-nārī, ‘half-female’, the other half being male to symbolize the unity of the generative principle [Religious Thought and Life in India, also called ’Brāhmanism and Hindūism,’ by Sir M. Monier-Williams (Title) 85 ]; he has three eyes, one of which is in his forehead, and which are thought to denote his view of the three divisions of time, past, present, and future, while a moon's crescent, above the central eye, marks the measure of time by months, a serpent round his neck the measure by years, and a second necklace of skulls with other serpents about his person, the perpetual revolution of ages, and the successive extinction and generation of the races of mankind: his hair is thickly matted together, and gathered above his forehead into a coil; on the top of it he bears the Ganges, the rush of which in its descent from heaven he intercepted by his head that the earth might not be crushed by the weight of the falling stream; his throat is dark-blue from the stain of the deadly poison which would have destroyed the world had it not been swallowed by him on its production at the churning of the ocean by the gods for the nectar of immortality; he holds a त्रि-शूल (tri-śūla), or three-pronged trident [also called Pināka] in his hand to denote, as some think, his combination of the three attributes of Creator, Destroyer, and Regenerator; he also carries a kind of drum, shaped like an hour-glass, called Ḍamaru: his attendants or servants are called Pramatha [q.v.]; they are regarded as demons or supernatural beings of different kinds, and form various hosts or troops called Gaṇas; his wife Durgā [otherwise called Kālī, Pārvatī, Umā, Gaurī, Bhavāṇī &c.] is the chief object of worship with the Śāktas and Tāntrikas, and in this connection he is fond of dancing [see ताण्डव (tāṇḍava)] and wine-drinking ; he is also worshipped as a great ascetic and is said to have scorched the god of love (Kāma-deva) to ashes by a glance from his central eye, that deity having attempted to inflame him with passion for Pārvatī whilst he was engaged in severe penance; in the exercise of his function of Universal Destroyer he is fabled to have burnt up the Universe and all the gods, including Brahmā and Viṣṇu, by a similar scorching glance, and to have rubbed the resulting ashes upon his body, whence the use of ashes in his worship, while the use of the Rudrākṣa berries originated, it is said, from the legend that Śiva, on his way to destroy the three cities, called Tri-pura, let fall some tears of rage which became converted into these beads: his residence or heaven is Kailāsa, one of the loftiest northern peaks of the Himālaya; he has strictly no incarnations like those of Viṣṇu, though Vīra-bhadra and the eight Bhairavas and Khaṇḍo-bā &c. [Religious Thought and Life in India, also called ’Brāhmanism and Hindūism,’ by Sir M. Monier-Williams (Title) 266 ] are sometimes regarded as forms of him; he is especially worshipped at Benares and has even more names than Viṣṇu, one thousand and eight being specified in the 69th chapter of the Śiva-Purāṇa and in the 17th chapter of the Anuśāsana-parvan of the Mahā-bhārata, some of the most common being Mahā-deva, Śambhu, Śaṃkara, Īśa, Īśvara, Maheśvara, Hara; his sons are Gaṇeśa and Kārttikeya), Āśvalāyana-śrauta-sūtra (Title) ; Mahābhārata (Title) ; Kāvya literature (Literary category) &c., Religious Thought and Life in India, also called ’Brāhmanism and Hindūism,’ by Sir M. Monier-Williams (Title) 73 [ID=217501]

शिव (śiva) [Printed book page 1007-b]
शिव (śiva) śiva, as, ā, am (according to Uṇādi-s.

I. 153. fr. rt. 1. śī; more probably to be connected

with rt. śvi and śavas, see śiśvi), auspicious, pro-

pitious, prosperous, happy, fortunate, lucky, increas-

ing, thriving, right; (as), m., N. of the third god

of the Hindū Tri-mūrti, (in the later mythology

regarded as ‘the destroyer,’ and with Brahmā, ‘the

creator,’ and Viṣṇu, ‘the preserver,’ constituting

the well known Hindū triad of divine manifestations;

although the name Śiva is not found applied to any

god in the Veda, the worship of the destroying and

reproducing principle under this name was rapidly

developed in the Purāṇas and epic poems, and be-

came very general in later times, the worshippers of

Śiva or Śaivas assigning to him the first place in the

triad and by identifying him with the principles of

creation and reproduction as well as that of destruc-

tion, constituting him the one Supreme Being who

is supposed to comprehend all the powers and forces

of nature and whose formidable character makes him

the first object of propitiation and adoration; in the

Śiva-Purāṇa he is addressed as Brahmā, Viṣṇu,

Indra, Varuṇa, the Sun, Moon, Earth, Fire, Water,

Air, Ether, &c., while even in the Viṣṇu and other

Purāṇas not specially devoted to his praise, he is

mentioned with the greatest reverence and awe;

according to one view the name Śiva belonged

originally to the principal god of the aboriginal

tribes of India, and being subsequently adopted

together with the Liṅga or symbol of reproduction

into the Pantheon of the Āryans, was then identified

with their own deity Rudra, who occupies a con-

spicuous position in the Veda as god of storms; but

according to a more likely supposition the adjective

śiva, ‘auspicious,’ being at first only used as an

euphemistic epithet to propitiate the lord of tempests,

passed afterwards into his name, and was ultimately

adopted as the principal name of the god of destruc-

tion, [see rudra]; according to Viṣṇu-Purāṇa I. 8.

there are eight principal manifestations of Śiva, viz.

Rudra, Bhava, Śarva, Iśāna, Paśu-pati, Bhīma, Ugra,

Mahā-deva, which again are visibly represented under

eight Tanus or material forms, viz. the Sun, Water,

Earth, Air, Fire, Ether, the officiating Brahman,

and the Moon, Śiva being supposed to uphold the

universe by means of these forms; as presiding over

reproduction, which follows destruction, his symbol

is the Liṅga or Phallus, under which form he is

generally worshipped at the present day; as god of

justice or punishment, which character he shares with

the gods Yama and Varuṇa, he is represented as

riding on a white bull, the god Dharma, it is said,

having taken this form and requested Śiva to accept

him as his vehicle; his own colour is sometimes

depicted as black in his character of destroyer of the

world, when he is called Kāla or Time; again, one

of his representations is as Ardha-nārī, ‘half-female,’

the other half being male to symbolize the unity of

the generative principle, his name being then Ardha-

nārīśa, ‘the half-female lord;’ he has sometimes five

faces, whence his name Pāñcānana; he has also three
Page1007-c+ 81

eyes, one of which is in his forehead, and which are

thought to denote his view of the three divisions of

time, past, present, and future, while a moon's

crescent, round or above the central eye, marks the

measure of time by months, a serpent round his

neck the measure of time by years, and a second

necklace of skulls with numerous other serpents about

his person, the perpetual revolution of ages, and the

successive extinction and generation of the races of

mankind: his hair is thickly matted together, and

gathered above his forehead into a coil, so as to

project like a horn; on the top of it he bears the

Ganges, the rush of which river in its descent form

heaven he intercepted by his head that the earth

might not be crushed by the weight of the falling

stream; his throat is dark-blue from the stain of the

deadly poison which would have destroyed the world

had it not been swallowed by him on its production

at the churning of the ocean by the gods for the

nectar of immortality: he is sometimes represented

clothed in a deer-skin, sometimes in a tiger-skin, or

he appears sitting on a tiger-skin or holding a deer

in one of his hands; in explanation of this a legend

is told that Śiva, having once visited a forest in the

form of a religious mendicant, the wives of the

Ṛṣis residing there fell in love with his great

beauty, which the Ṛṣis perceiving resented; in

order, therefore, to overpower him, they first dug a

pit, and by magical arts caused a tiger to rush out of

it, which he slew, and taking its skin wore it as a

garment; they next caused a deer to spring out upon

him, which he took up in his left hand and ever

afterwards retained there; they then produced a red-

hot iron, but this too he took up and kept in his

hand as a weapon: sometimes, again, he appears

wearing an elephant's skin which belonged to an

Asura named Gaya, who acquired such power that

he conquered the gods and would have destroyed the

Munis had they not fled to Benares and taken

refuge in a temple of Śiva, who then destroyed the

Asura and, ripping up his body, stripped off the hide

which he afterwards cast over his shoulders for a

cloak: Śiva holds a triśūla or three-pronged trident

[also called Pināka] in his hand to denote, as some

think, his combination of the three attributes of

Creator, Destroyer, and Regenerator; his other

weapons are a bow called Ajakava or Ajagava, a

thunderbolt, an axe, a kind of staff with transverse

pieces surmounted by a skull called Khaṭvāṅga, and

another nondescript weapon called Khiṅkira; he also

carries a kind of rattle or drum, shaped like an hour-

glass, called Ḍamaru, and a Pāśa or noose for binding

incorrigible offenders: his attendants or servants are

called Pramatha; they are sometimes regarded as

demons or supernatural beings of various kinds, and

form a complete host; some of his more personal

attendants or chamberlains have special names, such

as Nandi or Nandin, Bhṛṅgin, Taṇḍu, the latter

being the original teacher of dancing &c., whence

Śiva is called Naṭeśvara, ‘the lord of dancers,’ and is

himself described as nāṭya-priya, fond of dancing:

his principal wife Durgā, otherwise called Pārvatī,

Umā, Gaurī, Bhavānī, Satī, &c., is the chief object

of worship with the Śāktas and Tāntrikas, see śakti,

śākta, tantra: his sons are Gaṇeśa and Kārttikeya:

he destroyed several Asuras or demons, such as Pura,

Tripura, Andhaka, Ruru; he also scorched the god

of love, Kāma-deva, to ashes by a glance from his

central eye, that deity having attempted to inflame

him with passion for Pārvatī whilst he was engaged

in severe penance; he is said to have cut off one of

the heads of the god Brahmā, that god having ori-

ginally possessed five heads, one of which is fabled

to have addressed Śiva on a particular occasion in a

disrespectful manner, cf. brahma-mūrdha-bhṛt;

he also decapitated Dakṣa and replaced his head by

that of a ram, because that sage, who was his father-

in-law, omitted to invite him and his wife Satī to a

great sacrifice at which all the other gods were

present, see dakṣādhvara-dhvaṃśa-kṛt; in the

exercise of his function of Universal Destroyer he
Page1008-a+ 81

destroys, at the end of every Kalpa, not only all

created beings, but even Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and the

other gods, whose bones and skulls he wears as gar-

lands; moreover, at the end of one of the early

Kalpas he is fabled to have burnt them up by a flash

from his central eye, and afterwards to have rubbed

their ashes upon his body, whence the use of ashes

is considered of great importance in his worship,

while the use of the Rudrākṣa berries or beads

originated, it is said, from the legend that Śiva, on

his way to destroy the three cities, called Tri-pura,

let fall some tears of rage which became converted

into these beads: his residence is Kailāsa, one of the

loftiest northern peaks of the Himālaya, which is

also the paradise of Kuvera: he has strictly no in-

carnations like those of Viṣṇu, though Vīra-bhadra

and the eight Bhairavas are sometimes regarded as

forms of him, sometimes as his sons, see vīra-bha-

dra, bhairava; he is especially worshipped at Be-

nares and has even more names than Viṣṇu, one

thousand and eight being specified in the sixty-ninth

chapter of the Śiva-Purāṇa and in the seventeenth

chapter of the Anuśāsana-parvan of the Mahā-bhā-

rata, some of the most common being Mahā-deva,

(Ānuśāsanik.): XIII, 161—162: Kṛṣṇa said (declaring

that he would recite the Śatarudriya): It is Śiva who

created all creatures; when he looks angrily on D., As., G.,

or Pn., they cannot find peace anywhere. He pierced

the Prajāpati Dakṣa's sacrifice; D. and As. became

stupefied, etc. (description); the Ṛṣis performed propitiatory

rites; Śiva tore out the eyes of Bhaga and the teeth of

Pūṣan (with his foot); the gods recited the Śatarudriya.

At last Śiva became gratified and the gods assigned a large

share [of the sacrificial offerings] to him; the sacrifice, which

had been severed into two pieces, became once more united.

The Asuras had in days of yore three cities in the sky (of

iron, silver, and gold respectively); Indra was unable to

pierce them; the gods then repaired to Rudra (Śiva), who

made Viṣṇu his shaft-head, etc. (γ), and pierced the city and

burnt it together with the Asuras. Beholding Mahādeva (Śiva)

transformed into a child with five locks of hair, lying upon

the lap of Pārvatī, the latter asked the gods who he was.

Indra resolved to kill him with his thunderbolt, but the

child paralysed his arm; the gods and the Prajāpatis could

not realise that it was the lord of the universe, but

Brahmán by his penances found out that it was Mahādeva,

and praised him, and so did the gods; Indra's arm became

restored. Taking birth as Durvāsas, Śiva resided for a long

time at Dvāravatī in my house. He is Rudra, etc. (δ) (XIII,

161). Kṛṣṇa continued: “Śiva has two forms: (1) one

which is terrible (= Agni, lightning, and Sūrya) and engaged

in all operations of destruction; (2) one which is mild

and auspicious (= Righteousness, water, and the moon) and

engaged in brahmacarya. These two forms again are sub-

divided into many forms. Half his body is Agni (fire), half

is Soma (the moon).” Then Kṛṣṇa enumerated and

explained many of Śiva's names, (ε) Ṛ., D., G., and Aps.

worship that emblem of his which is always erect and upraised.

He loves to reside in crematoria, and there he burns and

consumes all corpses; those persons who perform sacrifices

there attain to the regions set apart for heroes. The brahmans

know the Śatarudriya in the Veda and the adoration (upa-

sthānaṃ) [of the same name] which is composed by Vyāsa.

Śiva created Agni from his mouth. The lordship of Śakra,

etc., is verily his. It is he whose mouth is roaring in the

waters of the sea in the form of the huge mare's head (XIII,

[ID=2661]

— Index to the Names in the Mahabharata

1. The supreme god of destruction and asceticism, often depicted with three eyes, a crescent moon, and riding a bull. 2. An epithet of various mythological figures.

शिव (śiva) [Printed book page 3-421]
Śiva (I) — (also Giritra): several names of the god are

mentioned: master of all Gaṇas and Bhūtas, and a god of

wrath, worshipped for learning;¹ Parīkṣit compared to him

for liberality in granting boons: awarded his own missile to

Arjuna: a great Yogin. Resident of Kailāsa; worships San-

kaṛṣaṇa in Ilāvṛta.²

Met by Pracatas and venerated by Kṛṣṇa; knew Vāsu-

deva's glory and the dharma ordained by Hari;³ pleased with

Bāṇa, guarded his city, and fought with Kṛṣṇa. Insulted by

Dakṣa and Bhṛgu in the sacrifice of Prajāpatis: warned Satī

against attending Dakṣa's sacrifice where he was deprived of

his share. Heard from Nārada of Satī's sacrifice and grew

angry, out sprang Vīrabhadra to ruin the sacrifice; cut off

Dakṣa's head; waited on by Brahmā and consoled, agreed to

attend and praised Viṣṇu, and felt obliged to him.⁴

Appeared before the Pracetasas and initiated them into

the Rudragītā in glory of Hari and left them;⁵ praised Aditi

and Vāmana's exploits and was present when he was

anointed Upendra;⁶ praised Nṛsimha, and prayed to, by

Prahlāda. His discomfiture at Maya who built three cities for

the safety of the Asuras. Them he killed. But Maya brought

back all of them to life by the immortalised waters which he

discovered in a well. Śiva was worried when Brahmā and

Hari drank the whole of the liquid. Induced by them he

attacked Tripura with success.⁷

Accompanied Brahmā and other gods when they went

to meet Hari Ajita. Praised by Prajāpatis for consuming

hālāhala that came out of Amṛtamathana. His faces re-

present five Upaniṣads from which thirty-eight mantras

evolved, Himself being the Highest Truth. The poison got
Page3-422+ 47

stuck in his throat and added beauty to his neck. Heard

with wonder the Mohinī form of Hari and came with Pārvatī

to see him. Requested Hari to show himself again as Mohinī.

Seeing the lovely form Śiva became enamoured and ran after

her when his seed dropped in several places which ultimately

became shrines of images of gold and silver. Then he realis-

ed his position and after taking leave of Hari, went to his

abode;⁸ embraced Pārvatī sitting on his lap in the midst of

his attendants. This was seen by the Vidyadhara Citraketu

who laughed at it. So he was cursed by Pārvatī to be born

an Asura. When Śiva appealed to her that Citraketu was

Hari's friend, Pārvatī became mild;⁹ had a special park in

which he sported with Pārvatī. Waited upon by Vasiṣṭha, he

agreed to let Sudyumna be a male and female in alternate

months;¹⁰ did not comprehend Hari's māyā and advised

Durvāsas pursued by Cakra to go to Hari: prayed to by

Bhagīratha, offered to bear the waters of the Ganges descend-

ing from Heaven after washing the feet of Hari. Joined the

gods in the Tārakāmaya war;¹¹ worshipped as Paśupati in

Ambikāvana: propitiated with goats in Dhanuryāga, went to

Hari with Brahmā and attended on Him.¹² Easily pleased by

devotees shows grace to them unlike Hari: backed by Śakti

and full of three guṇas — Vaikārika, Taijasa and Tāmasa,

granted Asura Vṛka what he wanted for his tapas by cutting

flesh from his body viz — that he on whose head he placed

his hand should die. He wanted to experiment it on Śiva

himself who took to flight to Vaikuṇṭha.

Hari is nirguṇa and apart from Prakṛti. In the role of

a young Brahmacārin, Hari appeared before Vṛka and said

that owing to curse of Dakṣa his words would not come true.

As a test he could try it on himself. The wicked Asura did

so and died to the relief of Śiva. Śiva welcomed his brother

Bhṛgu but the latter did not appreciate it;¹³ worshipped by

Sudakṣiṇa, told him of a means to end the slayer of his father.

Attended Varuṇa's sacrifice and Yudhiṣṭhira's; gave Śālva

an aerial car capable of creating illusion.¹⁴ Arjuna blessed by
Page3-423+ 59

Śiva when he called on Him at Kailāsa, during the battle. In

answer to his prayer, Śiva protected the delivery room of the

Dvārakā Brahman;¹⁵ worshipped by Kṛṣṇa who was blessed

with a son Pradyumna: burnt down Kāma who was reborn

as Pradyumna. Pleased with tapas of Rukmi, he gave him a

bow: Rode on his bull against Kṛṣṇa taking Pārijāta from

Indra's abode but Garuḍa vanquished the bull and made

Śiva go back.¹⁶ At Bāṇa's city he produced maheśvara

jvara which was averted by Vaiṣṇava jvara. Seeing Kṛṣṇa

chopping all the arms of Bāṇa except four, Śiva pleaded for

his life to which Kṛṣṇa agreed. On this Śiva approved of the

marriage of Uṣā with Aniruddha. Went with Brahmā to

encourage Devakī;¹⁷ wondered at Mārkaṇḍeya's vrata and

was pleased with his bhakti.¹⁸ Śrīśaila and Gokarṇa are

shrines sacred to Him.¹⁹ (See Nilakaṇṭha for the legend) of

three eyes, riding on bull, holding Pināka bow, equal to

Nandi in strength, attended by Yakṣas, Piśācas, Bhūtas and

Vināyakas: holding the moon on the tuft. Four faces repre-

senting Indra, Yama, Varuṇa and Moon: creator of

Ādityas, Vasus, Rudras, Maruts, Aśvins, Sādhyas, Vidhyā-

dharas, Nāgas, Cāraṇas and Vālakhilyas. Decked with sacred

ashes, tiger skin for sacred thread;²⁰ Jyotirliṅga is māheśva-

ram balam, the mahāyogam;²¹ cursed by sages of Dāruvana

for enticing their women-folk by his appearing naked, to

become an ass and to lose his liṅgam. Darkness overtook

the world. Brahmā advised sages to worship Śiva in the form

of a Liṅga. The establishment of Liṅga cult, Śiva represents

Agni and Ambikā Moon. Bhasma the vīrya of the Lord;²² on

the significance of pāśupata yogam.²³ Appeared to Paraśu-

rāma doing penance in the guise of a hunter: blessed Paraśu-

rāma with an axe to aid Devas;²⁴ committed brahmicide

by cutting off Brahmā's head, taught astra and sāstra to him.

Assumes Rudrahood at the end of Kalpa.²⁵ A pose of five

faces and ten hands.²⁶ Brahmā's praise of: Śukra's praise of

Became Ardhanārīśvara by worshipping Śakti.²⁷ Praise by

Dakṣa.²⁸ Blessed Bhaṇḍa with an unrivalled rule of 6000

years.²⁹ As Kāmeśvara, he married Kāmeśvarī receiving wed-
Page3-424+ 24

ding presents from all gods present.³⁰ Married Gauri through

the intervention of the seven sages and lived in Oṣadhiprastha

city of his father-in-law. Wandered with her passing from

one hill to the other. Once unable to hear his vīrya Gauri,

left it with Agni who placed it with Kṛttikas who offered it

to Gangā, who deposited it in the Saravana forest.³¹ A son of

Atri;³² from his eyes came silver;³³ constituting Brahmā,

Viṣṇu, Arka and Rudra and Vasus; this mūrti is Vāsudeva.³⁴
