Subtle, she is (the goddess) Vakrikā of the Abyss (kandara) (of the Void) in the supreme (state). O Kujeśvara, the glory (śrī) within that is the glory of liberation. The (blissful) vibration of the Command (ājñāghūrmi) is (thus) attained in the (supreme) faultless and indubitable (reality). If he desires liberation, the one who possesses (this) glory (śrīmat) should abide on that plane. [...]”.
2) Śrīmat (श्रीमत्) refers to “one who is well-behaved”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, while describing the signs of one who is a Siddha: “His heart is uplifted and his nose and the rest (of his face) is well balanced. The sign of one who is well accomplished is that he is well behaved [i.e., śrīmat] and he produces abundance. [...] One who is such and is equal in pleasure and pain is part of the Siddha lineage”.
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.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsŚrīmat (श्रीमत्) refers to the “venerable (omniscient one)”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “The doctrine freely bestows the power of the venerable omniscient one (śrīmat-sarvajña-vaibhava) which is furnished with the great eminences [and] is the great abode of the auspicious [events]. It goes along with [sentient beings to the other world], then it protects, produces benefit always [and], having saved [them] from the mire of life it sets [them] on the pure path [of liberation]”.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
