About the Book
Saiva Rites of Expiation presents the first critical edition and English translation of Trilocanasiva’s twelfth-century Prayascittasamuccaya, an important Śaiva ritual text dealing with rites of expiation and religious purification. The volume also includes a transcription of Hardayasiva’s related Prayascittasamuccaya, offering valuable comparative insight into medieval Śaiva ritual practices. Through careful manuscript study and scholarly analysis, the book explores theological foundations, ceremonial procedures, and ethical frameworks governing ritual atonement within the Śaiva Siddhanta tradition. This comprehensive work serves as an essential academic resource for scholars of Indology, Sanskrit literature, Śaiva ritual studies, and South Asian religious history.
