In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: academia.edu: A Critical Study of the Vajra岣嵞乲a尘补丑腻tantrar膩ja (II) (shaivism)惭补丑腻辫谤别迟补 (啶す啶距お啷嵿ぐ啷囙い) is the name of a K峁trap膩la (field-protector) and together with Jv膩l膩mukh墨 Dev墨 they preside over Jayant墨: one of the twenty-four sacred districts mentioned in the Kubjik膩matatantra (chapter 22). Their weapon is the 办丑补岣峠补 and their abode is the nimba-tree. A similar system appears in the 9th century Vajra岣嵞乲atantra (chapter 18).
Shaiva (啶多啶�, 艣aiva) or Shaivism (艣aivism) 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: Manthanabhairavatantram惭补丑腻辫谤别迟补 (啶す啶距お啷嵿ぐ啷囙い) refers to a 鈥済reat ghost鈥�, according to the Manth膩nabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjik膩.鈥斉歩kh膩n膩tha should be worshipped in the middle on the Great Ghost as (his) seat [i.e., 尘补丑腻辫谤别迟补-腻蝉补苍补]. He bestows accomplishment (when this is done) with all one's being and with an intention free of thought. The essence of supreme bliss is considered to be the supreme state (产丑腻惫补) of the all-pervasive lord. The (liberated) state of flight arises by means of this Kramayoga.
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.
