Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarUttararūpa (उत्तररूप).—Ulterior form.
Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramUttararūpā (उत्तररूपा) refers to “she who is in the form of the north”, according to the commentary (vyākyā) on the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] : That is the energy of the New Moon (amākalā) and is called the sacred seat of the Moon [i.e., candrapīṭha]. If the goddess is conceived to be the Moon, she is then in the form of the left channel, emanation, the entry (of the breath), and the north [i.e., uttararūpā]. How is she when she is otherwise? She is ‘located in the midst of the sixteen-spoked (Wheel)’. The sixteen vowels are the energies of the Moon. Thus, anackā, the sixteenth energy, is Kubjinī, in the form of Kuṇḍalinī. This is the meaning”.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
