: Google books: Genesis and Development of Tantra (Shaktism)Eloquence (i.e., 鈥減oetic talent鈥�) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Kavitva and represents one of the various Supernatural Powers (siddhi) according to the Siddhayoge艣var墨mata: an ancient Sanskrit text devoted to cults of Goddesses as the Vidy膩p墨峁環a or Vidy膩 Corpus.鈥擨n the Siddhayoge艣var墨mata, the objectives of rituals are classified as siddhis [e.g., eloquence / poetic talent (kavitva)]. They belong to the category of supernatural phenomena and seem to be considerably different from the types of wish people expected to gain from the Vedic rituals that still remained within the sphere of everyday life.
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.
