Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramRevatīkalpa (रेवतीकल्प) is the name of a section of the Kāśyapasaṃhitā which, according to V. S. Agrawal, was written in the transition period between Kuṣāna and Gupta times, that is, in the second or third century CE.—It is an unparalleled record of the goddesses worshipped in the society of the time. In one place we find a list of minor goddesses worshipped by members of various castes and professions. Amongst them we find both the goddess of the oil-pressers and dyers along with Kulālī—the goddess of potters or clay-workers.
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.
