AbstractŚaiva Advaita, or Śivādvaita, is typically regarded as an invention of the late sixteenth-century polymath Appayya Dīkṣita, who is said to have single-handedly revived Śrīkaṇṭha’s commentary on the Brahmasūtras from obscurity. And yet, the theological rapprochement between South Indian Śaivism and Advaita Vedānta philosophy has a much richer history, and one that left few South Indian Śaiva communities untouched by the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This article is an attempt to trace the outlines of what we can call a “Greater Śaiva Advaita,” defined as the interpenetration of nondualist Vedānta and a number of discrete South Indian Śaiva lineages, including the Śaiva Siddhānta in present-day Tamil Nadu (both Sanskritic and Tamil), the Sanskritic Vīraśaivas (writing in both Sanskrit and Kannada) based in heartlands of Vijayanagar, and the Brāhmaṇical Smārta Śaivas. The article demonstrates, specifically, that Appayya Dīkṣita did not coin the term “Śivādvaita,” but drew on an entire discursive sphere known variously as Śivādvaita or Śaktiviśiṣṭādvaita, a school of Vīraśaiva theology that provides a crucial missing link in the transmission of Śrīkaṇṭha’s Śaiva Vedānta across regions and language communities in early modern South India.

重塑南印度 Śaivism：大 Śaiva Advaita 和 Śaktiviśiṣṭādvaita Vīraśaiva 传统的遗产

AbstractŚaiva Advaita，或 Śivādvaita，通常被认为是 16 世纪晚期博学者 Appayya Dīkṣita 的发明，据说他一手将 Śrīkaṇṭha 对梵天的评论从默默无闻中恢复过来。然而，南印度 Śaivism 和 Advaita Vedānta 哲学之间的神学和解有着更丰富的历史，在 16 和 17 世纪，很少有南印度 Śaiva 社区没有受到影响。这篇文章试图追溯我们所谓的“大 Śaiva Advaita”的轮廓，它被定义为非二元论的吠檀多和一些离散的南印度 Śaiva 谱系的相互渗透，包括当今泰米尔纳德邦的 Śaiva Siddhānta梵语和泰米尔语），梵语 Vīraśaivas（用梵语和卡纳达语写作），位于 Vijayanagar 的中心地带，和 Brahmaṇical Smārta Śaivas。这篇文章特别表明，Appayya Dīkṣita 并没有创造“Śivādvaita”这个词，而是利用了一个被称为 Śivādvaita 或 Śaktiviśiṣṭādvaita 的整个话语领域，这是一个 Vīraśaiva 神学学派，它提供了一个重要的缺失环节跨越现代早期南印度的地区和语言社区。
