Kavya (poetry)
Source: Wisdom Library: Kath膩sarits膩gara础苍耻蝉惫腻谤补 (啶呧え啷佮じ啷嵿さ啶距ぐ) is the name of a sound that arises from the power of breathing, used as a force in magic sciences, according to the Kath膩sarits膩gara, chapter 46. Accordingly, as Maya said to S奴ryaprabha: 鈥�... Sumeru has told you the truth in few words. Listen to this which I now say: From undeveloped matter there spring in this world various powers and subordinate powers. Among them the sound expressed by 础苍耻蝉惫腻谤补 arises from the power of breathing, and becomes a spell of force in magic sciences, when accompanied with the doctrine of the highest truth鈥�.
The Kath膩sarits膩gara (鈥榦cean of streams of story鈥�), mentioning 础苍耻蝉惫腻谤补, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince Narav膩hanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补蝉 (celestial beings). The work is said to have been an adaptation of Gu峁嚹佱笉hya鈥檚 B峁沨atkath膩 consisting of 100,000 verses, which in turn is part of a larger work containing 700,000 verses.
Kavya (啶曕ぞ啶掂啶�, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or 鈥榚pic poetry鈥� and natya, or 鈥榙ramatic poetry鈥�.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram础苍耻蝉惫腻谤补 (啶呧え啷佮じ啷嵿さ啶距ぐ) refers to the nasalizing (峁�) written above the syllable, according to the Manth膩nabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjik膩.鈥擳he nasalizing 补苍耻蝉惫腻谤补 (峁�), written above the syllable, is the point in the centre. The subtle sound energies that lead to it and emanate from it resonate in the emptiness of the inner triangle. When this sixfold energy, which deploys itself spontaneously in this way in the 尘补峁囜笉补濒补, is 鈥榓roused鈥� and like a passionate woman craves union with her partner the god, she returns to her original source. Just as the birth from the male god reverses the normal order of the world in which it is the female who gives birth, similarly, by the same logic of reversals, when entering back into the source, the female penetrates the male.
Shakta (啶多ぞ啶曕啶�, 艣膩kta) or Shaktism (艣膩ktism) 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.

(-谤补岣�) (In Grammar.) Literally, an after-sound; the name of a nasal sound which always belongs to the preceding vowel and according to some is weaker, according to others stronger than the 补苍耻苍腻蝉颈办补 q. v. In writing it is marked by a dot over the vowel after which it sounds. It shares in the nature as well of consonants as of vowels: of consonants, in as much as it has but half a measure of time (or 尘腻迟谤腻) and with another consonant makes position: of vowels, by having their properties of shortness, length, pluti q. v., and of being capable of accentuation. (The vaidik grammarians call the consonants and the 础苍耻蝉惫腻谤补 the 鈥榖ody of a syllable鈥�—补办峁谤腻峁単补—.) On account of the organ of speech with which it is pronounced it belongs to the 苍腻蝉颈办测补 q. v., and on account of the mode in which it is uttered to the 奴峁补苍 q. v. (see also 尘补丑腻辫谤腻峁嘺). If a combined consonant follows an 础苍耻蝉惫腻谤补 the vaidik grammarians want the first consonant of the group to be repeated; e. g. som膩n补峁� ssvara峁嚥贯箖 &c. instead of som膩n补峁� svara峁嚥贯箖 &c.; this rule, however, is neglected in most of our vaidik Mss. and in all referring to the post-vaidik literature, although the injunction of the grammarians is doubtless founded on correct physiological observation and the system of Sanskrit orthography on a correct imitation in writing the spoken sound.—At the end of a pada (q. v.) 础苍耻蝉惫腻谤补 is a substitute for m, in the middle of a pada that of m or n; at the end of a pada it is only allowed to occur when the pada does not stand in a pause, and in the middle not before any other sound than 艣, 峁�, sa and h, before which it is the compulsory substitute. (These rules, too, are frequently neglected in spite of the grammatical authorities.) It is compulsory, too, at the end of the pada, before the same letters and r save a few exceptions as 蝉补尘谤腻箩 or when h is followed by m, n &c., e. g. ki峁� hmalayati or ki峁僪malayati, ki峁� hnute or kinhnute &c. For the interchange and the confusion, that prevails in the classical literature, between the use of 础苍耻蝉惫腻谤补 and Anun膩sika before y, l, v see s. v. 补苍耻苍腻蝉颈办补.—A short syllable followed by 础苍耻蝉惫腻谤补 (which itself as results from the preceding statement must always be followed by a consonant) becomes of the nature of a long syllable, i. e. it becomes guru or heavy; but though this is the constant case in the Vedas and generally in the later literature, it will seem that this rule may be departed from at the end of a P膩da, as in the instance of the following first P膩da of the 膧ry膩 verse: atha lulitapatatrim膩l补峁� rugn膩sanav膩峁嘺ke艣aratam膩lam &c. where trim膩l补峁� counts for {??} |.
