In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramAmlaphala (अम्लफल) refers to a “wood sorrel”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “Due to obstructions (and other limitations) the Command [i.e., ājñā] is not (transmitted) completely and is defective. When the right time comes, the disciple comes to know everything, just as ripe fruit is tasty. (A fruit) without juice is not tasty—(on the contrary, it tastes sour) like eating a wood sorrel (amlaphala); similarly the effort exerted to (impart) knowledge to immature students is useless. Even if (the teacher) does impart the Command by dint (of his own) power, the proud disciple, consumed by human infirmities (ūrmi), is destroyed by pride”.
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 to German]
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.
