In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramAhaṃbuddhi (अहंबुद्धि) refers to “pride”, according to the second recension of the Yogakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, as Śrīkaṇṭha said: “I have fallen due to (my) pride (ahaṃbuddhi) and due to the fall of (my) intellect, I have been destroyed. O (goddess) worshipped by the gods, due to Māyā, I do not know your (true) nature (rūpa). O Supreme Goddess, have mercy. O goddess, you are my refuge. O fair lady, I praise your Viṣṇu nature with great devotion”.
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.

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.
