Abstract: Śivadharmāṃrta, ‘The Nectar of Śiva’s Religion’, is a collection of articles that present some of the initial results of the research on the Śivadharma carried out by the SHIVADHARMA and DHARMA projects. All the contributions in this book are based on the study of primary sources and cover topics that range from specific aspects of the Sanskrit texts of the Śivadharma corpus to their broad network of influence and from considerations of the early historical context in which the Śivadharma might have arisen to the early modern Tamil adaptations of the Śivadharmottara. This book should be of interest to all scholars working on the religious traditions of South Asia, especially those focussing on textual sources.
