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.
