In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

[...] Devī is viśvasya bījam [the seed of the universe], like Śiva and together with Śiva she is the cause of all the Śiva Liṅgas in heaven, on earth and in the underworld. Devī can be represented by a Liṅga because she stands there [i.e. is present within it]�ṅgٳ—and she is Liṅga by nature�ṅgū辱ṇ�. The identification seems perfect�.

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.
