印度教湿婆派悉檀多支发展与传播初探

A Brief Study of Early-Stage Siddhanta Saivism

悉檀多支是印度教湿婆派的主要支派之一,其产生于北印度克什米尔地区,后逐步向中印度、南印度传播。该支在11世纪后期至12世纪初达到了发展的顶峰,之后便在北印度和中印度逐渐式微,最终仅幸存于南印度的泰米尔地区。笔者以12世纪末为界,将悉檀多支的发展与传播分为前、后期两个阶段。本文以前期悉檀多支为研究对象,从宗教的、历史的角度出发,研究其在前期阶段的发展及其哲学理论的系统化过程,并探究其盛行的原因。

After that, it declined rapidly in north and middle India, and only survived in Tamil region at last. For the purpose of exploring Siddhanta Saivism, this essay will make an initial attempt to do some related research about its early stage.
