In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Wisdom Library: ŚktismܲԲԻ (सुनन्द�, “pleasing, delighting �):—Name of one of the goddesses to be worshipped during Āvaraṇapūj (“Worship of the Circuit of Goddesses�), according to the Durgpūjtattva (“The truth concerning Durg’s ritual�). They should be worshipped with either the five ܱ峦 or perfume and flowers.
Her mantra is as follows:
: Kamakoti Mandali: The Yoginis of Narasimha Vyuhaह्री� ओं सुनन्दाय� नम�
hrī� o� suԲԻyai nama�
ܲԲԻ (सुनन्द�) is the name of a Mtṛk-Śakti created by Ѳܻ in order to control the plague of demons created by Իܰ.—Accordingly, Andhaka-Asura tried to kidnap Um (Devī Prvatī), and was fiercely attacked by Ѳܻ who shot arrows at him from his 辱첹. when the arrows pierced the body of Իܰ, drops of blood fell to earth and from those drops, thousands of Andhakas arose. To control this plague of demons, Ѳܻ created ṛk-Śپ [viz., ܲԲԻ] and ordered them to drink the blood of the demons and drain them dry.
: Kamakoti Mandali: Nrisimha matrika-mandalaܲԲԻ (सुनन्द�) refers to one of the various ṛk-Śپ created by Rudra in order to destroy the clones that spawned from Ի첹’s body.—Accordingly, [...] Իܰ attempted to abduct Girjanandinī (Prvatī) and thus ensued a fierce battle between Իܰ and the great Rudra, the Lord of Um. Like raktabīja, every drop of blood that fell from the body of Andhaka created another Asura like him and in no time, the entire world was filled with Andhakas. To destroy the growing number of Andhakas, Rudra created innumerable ṛk-Śپ [viz., ܲԲԻ]. These Śaktis of immense power at once began to drink every drop of blood that flowed from the body of Andhaka, but they could still not effectively contain the emergence of more and more demons.

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.

Therefore, Brahm created with his mind several apsaras (celestial nymphs), such as ܲԲԻ, who were skillful in embellishing the drama.

Natyashastra (नाट्यशास्त्र, ṭyśٰ) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya—theatrics, drama, dance, music), as well as the name of a Sanskrit work dealing with these subjects.
