Kashmir Shaivism

[Allen Thrasher]

In the Library of Congress subject headings, which will be used for 
cataloging by libraries in the US and several other countries, the term 
for uniting all these is "Kashmir S'aivism" (the single quote 
representing the acute accent, of course).  This may be useful in 
searching many databases.
