In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramMantrapada (मन्त्रपद) refers to the “plane of mantra�, according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Referring to the inner space within the triangular Yoni, the Śrīmatottara says: “O fair lady, thus Śrīnātha sports in the Circle of the Void (śūԲⲹṇḍ) and (so does) Kubjikā, the mother of Kula who is Kuṇḍalī by name. [...] Applied on the plane of mantra and visualization [i.e., Գٰ-Բ-貹岹], she who is undifferentiated (Ծṣk) is differentiated (첹). When she abides in the differentiated (aspect), she abides as mantra. Undifferentiated, she is devoid of mantra. When she abides in an iconic form, she is gross; she is subtle when present in the aniconic (ūپ) (aspect). Linked to the planes of mantra and iconic [i.e., Գٰ-ūپ-貹岹] she is action impelled on the plane of visualization (Բ)�.

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.
In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāMantrapada (मन्त्रपद) refers to the “words of the (knowledge) mantras�, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “Then, immediately after these words of knowledge-mantras were pronounced by the Bodhisattva Gaganagañja, the world system of three thousandfold worlds was shaken in six ways. The five hundred evil ones, who were without faith and clinging to the non-dharma, heard this sound from open space: ‘The Māra, his sons, or his followers, who do not produce the thought of awakening and do not give up the works of the Māra after having heard these words of the knowledge-mantras (-Գٰ貹岹), the crowns of their heads will be destroyed by the lighting and blazing thunderbolt of the Yakṣa Vajrapāṇi�. Then, having looked up at the sky, the sons of the Māra saw five hundred Vajrapāṇis holding blazing thunderbolt, and produced the thought of awakening from the fear and terror�.

Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many ūٰ of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā ūٰ.
