Pancaratra (啶ぞ啶炧啶氞ぐ啶距い啷嵿ぐ, p膩帽car膩tra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Shodhganga: Saudarya Lahari of Sri Sankara A StudyVedavat (啶掂啶︵さ啶む) refers to one of the 64 rays of the 膧j帽膩-Cakra which (together with the 72 rays of the Vi艣uddhi) are associated with the lunar plane called Brahmagranthi, according to 艢a峁卥ar膩c膩rya鈥檚 Saudaryalahar墨.鈥擜ccordingly, the Goddess is visualised (by S膩dhaka) as dwelling above the six 膧dh膩racakras ruling over the 360 rays which emanate in them [e.g., Vedavat]. These 360 rays represent 360 syllables (i.e., a consummation of the 艣补产诲补辫谤补辫补帽肠补 or 50 alphabets) as well as the principles of nature. For the 360 syllables, together with 丑补峁� and 蝉补岣�, Ny膩sa should be performed for 艢r墨cakrap奴j膩.
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.
