In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramAbhimati (अभिमति, “concent”) refers to one of the sixteen phases leading to the perception of any object (meya), according to Abhinavagupta’s Mālinīvijayavārtika:—[...] The sixteen phases [i.e., concent (abhimati) ...] leading to the perception of any object, if correctly and fully experienced, culminate in the liberated condition of the sixteenth phase, which is equated with the sixteenth energy of the Moon. [...] To the degree in which objectivity (meyamaya) is made manifest in this way, sixteen-fold, that is said to be the Moon of consciousness (vijñāna) considered to be the basic state (sthiti) of the sixteen energies.
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.

(-tiḥ-tiḥ-ti) (ved.) Doing injury, hurting, offensive, inimical; e. g. Ṛgv.: sa hi ṣmā viśvacarṣaṇirabhimāti saho dadhe (Sāyaṇa: abhimāti śatrūṇāṃ hiṃsakam). E. man (cl. 4) with abhi, kṛt aff. ktin. Ii. [tatpurusha compound] or [bahuvrihi compound] f. m.

E. man (cl. 4), with abhi, kṛt aff. ktin, or ([bahuvrihi compound]) abhi and māti (mā, kṛt aff. ktin); the latter Etym., according to Sāyaṇa, but less probable than the former alluded to equally by this comm., since the accent of the word—udātta on the second syllable—would follow not less from Pāṇ. Vi. 2. 2. than from Vi. 2. 50.; the use of the word in the femin. is considered by Mahīdh., in the given quotation, as a vaidik archaism, but it is probably more correct to assume that the word was originally a fem., meaning injury, hostility, and became as such afterwards personified as a masc. in the sense enemy; comp. abhikṣadā, abhibhūti &c.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
