Siva untranslated

Siva 01. The name of a god (Cv.xciii. 9, 10). A Devaputta, named Siva, is mentioned in the Saṁyutta (SN.i.56) as visiting the Buddha and speaking several verses on the benefit of consorting only with the good. It is interesting that Buddhaghosa makes no particular comment on the name in this context. In the Samantapāsādikā, however, he refers to the worship of the Sīvaliṅga. Vin-a.iii.626; cf.
