In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram²Ñ²¹á¹‡Ä«n»å°ù¾±²â²¹ (मणीनà¥à¤¦à¥à¤°à¤¿à¤�) refers to the “genitalsâ€�, according to the KubjikÄmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the KubjikÄ cult.â€�(The Cavity of BrahmÄ) is the size of a grain of wheat (yava) and the excellent form of a triangle. Like the genitals of a mare (±¹²¹á¸a±¹Äå-³¾²¹á¹‡Ä«n»å°ù¾±²â²¹) it expands and contracts (repeatedly). When the mind (cetas) is present there in the middle (of the triangle of the Cavity of BrahmÄ), a state (of contemplative absorption) arises (in which all bodily functions are suspended called) the Wooden State (°ìÄåṣṳóÄå±¹²¹²õ³Ù³óÄå).

Shakta (शाकà¥à¤�, Å›Äkta) or Shaktism (Å›Äktism) 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)
: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 2: the Category of the livingManindriya (मनिनà¥à¤¦à¥à¤°à¤¿à¤¯, “mental facultyâ€�).—according to the 2nd-century TattvÄrthasÅ«tra 2.21, “scriptural knowledge (Å›°ù³Ü³Ù²¹) is the province of the mind (manindriya)â€�. Since scriptural knowledge is acquired by the mind, so it is the object of mind. Is mind the only the cause of scriptural knowledge? Yes, like mind based knowledge is acquired through the use of all sense organs, scriptural knowledge is acquired only through mind but not due to both the sense organs and mind.
Why is scriptural knowledge (Å›°ù³Ü³Ù²¹) indicated as the object of mind (manindriya) in the aphorism? The mind, with the assistance of mind based knowledge, knows an object with more specific details. Therefore scriptural knowledge is indicated as the object of mind.

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.
