The essay is a survey of the scriptural basis of the Saiva religion in the ancient Indonesian Archipelago, consisting of texts (Tutur) that represent a corpus of didactic literature contextualising materials of South Asian provenance into a Javano-Balinese linguistic and doctrinal framework. Some among the many hitherto untraced Sanskrit slokas embedded in the Old Javanese commentary of Tuturs are here shown to have parallels in early Sanskrit Siddhantatantras. Through the comparison of doctrinal features found in sources of both areas, I argue that the form of Saivism widespread in the Archipelago seems to be based on an ancient Saiddhantika scriptural core reflecting an early phase of Saivism in the Subcontinent.
