SIVA
Dictionary of Science, Literature and Art · 1854 · p. 29
In Hindoo Mythology, a title given to the Supreme Beinir, considered in the character of the avenger or destroyer. Sir William Jones has compared Siva to Jupiter; but he appears to share many of the attributes of Pluto. Under the name of Mahndcva, he is exhibited also as a type of reproduction: to destroy, according to the Vedantns of India, the Sufis of Persia, and even to many European schools of philosophy, being only to generate or reproduce under another form. See Vishnu, Drama. [s. 1143]
