In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Wisdom Library: Kubjikāmata-tantraҳṭaٳԲ (घटस्था�, “Place of the Jar�):—The Yoginīs of the Yoginīcakra reside in the ҳṭaٳԲ, ܲᾱ峾ٲ-ٲԳٰ (or, 徱첹ṇa). It is said that they are born from the water of this Jar and possess its qualities. This ҳṭaٳԲ is localized above the heart-lotus (which refers to the Mātṛcakra), also known as the area of the throat (첹ṇṭ). It is also known as Ghaṭādhāra (‘The Base of the Jar�). Located within the ҳṭaٳԲ is the sixfold site of Kuleśvara which consists of a vajra-lotus where the Yoginīs are seated.

Shaiva (शै�, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramҳṭaٳԲ (घटस्था�) refers to the “place of the jar�.—[...] The complex system expounded in the Kubjikāmatatantra actively avoids increasing the number of seats beyond four. Thus, for example, in Place of the Jar (ṭaٳԲ) located in the throat, the four sacred seats are configured in a complex relation to one another so as to occupy six places. But while one could understand the need to do this in a system that does not accept six seats as we find in the later sources, one wonders why the group of four is maintained even in cases when seats are projected into a pentad.

Shakta (शाक्�, 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 to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), 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.
