Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram1) 翱岣峳补 (啶撪ぁ啷嵿ぐ) is the ancient name for Orissa and possibly corresponds to U岣島: an ancient and sacred region, according to Tantric texts such as the Kubjik膩mata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjik膩 cult.鈥擜ccording to the Kubjik膩matatantra, after her tour, the goddess finally reunites with the god in a place called U岣島. According to the edited text of the Kubjik膩matatantra the god is called, the 鈥楪reat Lord of 翱岣峳补鈥� (辞岣峳补尘补丑别艣腻苍补). At first sight it seems that 翱岣峳补 i.e. Orissa is meant here. But unfortunately the readings in these places and elsewhere in the corpus are so varied and numerous that it is not possible to be sure that this reading or place is in fact intended. There may very well have been a close connection between Orissa and the early development of the Kubjik膩 cult. It is well known that Orissa was, in the period we are considering, a major centre of 艢aivism not only P膩艣upata and Siddh膩nta but also K膩p膩lika and Kaula.

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.
