The Purana (पुरा�, purṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s 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: Manthanabhairavatantram1) ԲԻ岹 (निरानन्द) refers to the “bliss of stillness�, according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjik cult.—Stillness [i.e., Ծ峦] is the highest condition of the movement of the breath when it has reached the summit of existence beyond the End of the Twelve above the head. The Bliss of Stillness (ԾԲԻ岹) is the supreme bliss that is the ultimate end of all fettered existence. We are told below that this reality is the All—Pervasive Lord (prabhu) who is present in every state of being.
Note: The Śmbhava state, although dynamic and supremely powerful, is one of perfect stillness (Ծ峦). The bliss of that stillness is called ԾԲԻ岹.
2) ԲԻ岹 (निरानन्द) refers to one of the Nine Nthas according to verse 43.177ff of the Ṣaṭshasrasaṃhit.—The Nine Nthas (found in various Kubjik Tantras) generally represent a well-known group of Siddhas. According to the Kulakaulinīmata, these Nine Nthas originally resided in Ādintha’s body as his vital breaths from which they emerged and were born as men in nine places. ԲԻ岹 is associated with the following: Birth place: Ayodhya; Caste: Kṣatriya (belonged to royal family); Other names: Girintha, Kṛṣṇantha, Aparditya.

Shakta (शाक्�, śkta) or Shaktism (śktism) 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.
