In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramŚaṅkarīśāna (शङ्करीशान) is an alternative reading for Bhuvaneśāna (“Lord of the World”), according to variant manuscript editions of the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “[...] (Such is) the divine Santānabhuvana, frequented by gods and mortals. That Lord of the World [i.e., Bhuvaneśāna] (resides) there. Eternal, he is both manifest and unmanifest. As both cause and effect, Bhairavī’s Lord abides there for some time maintaining an unwavering silence”.
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.

Prakrit is an ancient language closely associated with both Pali and Sanskrit. Jain literature is often composed in this language or sub-dialects, such as the Agamas and their commentaries which are written in Ardhamagadhi and Maharashtri Prakrit. The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
