Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Wisdom Library: Kakṣapuṭa-tantraҳṭi (गुटिका) refers to “magic pill�. It is a siddhi (‘supernatural power�) described in chapter one of the ṣaṭaٲԳٰ (a manual of Tantric practice from the tenth century).

Accordingly, “by excellent Sādhakas (tantric practitioners) wishing the Siddhi (e.g., ṭi), the ԳٰԲ should be performed in advance, for the sake of the Siddhi. One would not attain any Siddhi without the means of Գٰ-Բ (the classification of mantra)�.
: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra Tantraҳṭi (गुटिका) refers to a “pill�, according to the Svacchanda-tantra.—Accordingly, [verse 4.8-13, while describing auspicious dreams]—“[...] [It is auspicious when one dreams of] a pill (ṭi), wood for cleaning the teeth, yellow pigment on a sword or sandal, sacred thread, ointment, nectar, mercury, medicinal herbs, śakti, a water jar, lotus, rosary, red arsenic or blazing objects of siddhas, which have red chalk as their ends. [...]�

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: Manthanabhairavatantramҳṭi (गुटिका) refers to a “magic pill�, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—The Tantra goes on to narrate how another time, when Śrīnātha was sitting under the same tamarind tree, other Siddhas came and attacked him. He looked at them angrily and uttered the syllable HŪ� from which emerged a magic pill (ṭi) that struck them with such great force that they fell on the ground. Distraught and worried, lest they be struck again by the magic pill, and awed by Śrīnātha’s power, they prostrated before him. He calmed them and liberated them.

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.
Sports, Arts and Entertainment (wordly enjoyments)
: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)ҳṭi (गुटिका) refers to “medicinal pills� (used in the treatment of Hawks), according to the ŚⲹԾ첹-śٰ: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by Rājā Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, [while discussing the treatment of hawks]: “[...] If the disease is produced by the derangement of the bile, a pill (ṭi) made of camphor, cloves, khaskhas root, sandal paste, and flesh, is to be given discriminately before a meal, and after that, quail’s flesh in small quantities: water should be given. [...]�.

This section covers the skills and profiencies of the Kalas (“performing arts�) and Shastras (“sciences�) involving ancient Indian traditions of sports, games, arts, entertainment, love-making and other means of wordly enjoyments. Traditionally these topics were dealt with in Sanskrit treatises explaing the philosophy and the justification of enjoying the pleasures of the senses.
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: De Gruyter: Himalayan Anthropology: The Indo-Tibetan InterfaceGuṭika (गुटि�) refers to “pills� (i.e., Ayurvedic substances that become pledged in the process of ū), according to William Stablein’s A Descriptive Analysis of the Content of Nepalese Buddhist Pujas as a Medical-Cultural System (with References to Tibetan Parallels).—T tshog shin (sacred tree) is also mentally visualized.—[Cf. Samayavastu].—Among the Tibetans the most popular pledged substances (samaya-vastu) that are given out for curing are ṭi첹, ril bu (Tibetan) [pills]. They are made from Ayurvedic substances that become pledged in the process of ū. The pill, being defined both as the union of body, speech, and mind, and as the sacred semen of the divinity, gives us a practical example of yogic medicine. In fact, the pill is an analog of the whole world in a refined state and is a symbol of what the medical-cultural system of the Vajrayāna Buddhists is all about.

Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (Բ) are collected indepently.
