Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram1) Īṣat (ईषत्) refers to a “subtle (laugh)”, according to the second recension of the Yogakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “In the meantime, once the goddess had crossed over the most excellent Yoga and once the fifth night had passed, she emerged from the middle of the Liṅga. (This took place) in an auspicious month on the auspicious eighth (day of the lunar month) at the end of the middle of the night. She has the form of a sixteen (year-old girl), is dark blue and red and has three eyes. She laughs subtly [i.e., īṣat-hasita] and is adorned with six faces. She has twelve arms, a crooked form and faces downwards”.
2) Īśat (ईशत्) refers to “subtle (exertion)”, according to the Ṭīkā (commentary) on the Manthānabhairavatantra.—Accordingly, “[...] The venerable one called Ciñciṇīśa is that Śambhu by nature and is born from his own body as a subtle exertion (īśad-yatana-rūpa). And what else is there? He should be worshipped along with the Kukārā Vidyā. This is the connection (between the words) with what was said before. [...]”.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
