According to the tradition of the Kashmir Shaivism, Shiva established 64 systems, of philosophies, some of them monist, others dualist and few of them monist-dualist.

As some of these systems were lost, Shiva asked the Sage Durvaasa to reinvigorate the knowledge. The sons of Durvaasa, born through the force of the mind were thus designed to transmit the systems as follows:

Tryambaks - the monist, Amardaka - the dualist and Shrikantha - the monist-dualist. Thus, at a certain point, it is said that Tryambaks laid the foundations of the Kashmir Shaivism philosophy and practice.

It is also said that Shiva himself felt the need to solve the conflicting interpretations of the sacred writings (agamas) and to cast away the dualist influence on the ancient monist doctrines.

Traymbakaditya, a disciple of the sage Durvaasa, was the first teacher of this school. Sangmaditya, the sixteenth descendant in the line of Tryambaks, settled in Kashmir in the eighth century A.D.
