In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: The Purana IndexLaghvi (啶侧啷嵿さ啶�).鈥擜 sage.*
- * Matsya-pur膩峁嘺 196. 28.
The Purana (啶啶班ぞ啶�, pur膩峁嘺s) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India鈥檚 vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram尝补驳丑惫墨 (啶侧啷嵿さ啷�) (or Laghvik膩) is another name for Kubjik膩.鈥擳he manner in which Himavat refers to his third daughter as the youngest鈥�濒补驳丑惫墨测补蝉墨鈥攔eminds us of one of Kubjik膩鈥檚 names, that is, Laghvik膩. This name is amongst the earliest ones of the goddess Kubjik膩 but becomes rare quite early on in the later literature. Indeed, it does not occur at all in the Kum膩rik膩kha峁囜笉a. However, in the lines the 艢r墨matottara has in common with the Kubjik膩matatantra, there is a tendency to use the name Laghvik膩 / 尝补驳丑惫墨 instead of Kubjik膩 / Kubjin墨 / Kubj墨. So, although 濒补驳丑惫墨测补蝉墨 is best understood to be an adjective meaning 鈥榶oungest鈥�, rather than a proper name, there is probably an intended suggestion here of Kubjik膩鈥檚 other name.
Note: The rule (samaya) common to all is the seed-syllable 尝补驳丑惫墨 (Yogakha峁囜笉, 2nd recension: Lak峁墨), (otherwise called) Mahotsava.
: Shodhganga: Saudarya Lahari of Sri Sankara A Study尝补驳丑惫墨 (啶侧啷嵿さ啷�) refers to one of the 56 rays of the M奴l膩dh膩ra-Cakra which (together with the 52 rays of the Svadhi峁ａ弓h膩na) are associated with the fiery plane called Rudragranthi, according to 艢a峁卥ar膩c膩rya鈥檚 Saudaryalahar墨.鈥擜ccordingly, the Goddess is visualised (by S膩dhaka) as dwelling above the six 膧dh膩racakras ruling over the 360 rays which emanate in them [e.g., 尝补驳丑惫墨]. These 360 rays represent 360 syllables (i.e., a consummation of the 艣补产诲补辫谤补辫补帽肠补 or 50 alphabets) as well as the principles of nature. For the 360 syllables, together with 丑补峁� and 蝉补岣�, Ny膩sa should be performed for 艢r墨cakrap奴j膩.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled 啶膏啶膏啶曕啶むぎ啷� (蝉补峁僺办峁泃补尘), 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.
