In Hinduism

Source: Wisdom Library: ŚaivismMitreśa (मित्रेश), one of the fifty Rudras according to the Caryāpāda section of the Makuṭāgama (one of the 28 Saiva Siddhanta Agamas).
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) 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)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramMitreśa (मित्रेश) or Mitreśanātha is the name of a Siddha.—According to the Saṃvartāmaṇḍalasūtra, there are only three original Siddhas and three corresponding seats, namely, Oḍḍīśanātha of Oḍḍiyāna, Ṣaṣṭhīśanātha of Pūrṇagiri and Mitreśanātha of Kāmarūpa. The ‘missing’ seat is, as we would expect, Jālandhara. These three Siddhas correspond to the three Transmissions (krama) handed down through the lineages (oli) founded by them. These are those of the Aged, Youth and the Child, respectively.
Shakta (शाक्त, 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.
