In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaAnagni (अनग्नि).—They are Pitṛs. Pitṛs like Agniṣvāttas, Barhiṣads, Anagnis, Sāgnis were offsprings of Brahmā. Two damsels, Menā and Dhāriṇī were born to them of Svadhā. (Agni Purāṇa, Chapter 20).
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramAnagni (अनग्नि) refers to the “absence of a fire”, 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, “If a conflagration without a fire [i.e., anagni-jvalana] (that starts it) begins suddenly in a village, the offering of beef into the Triangle with clarified butter a million times (brings about) great peace and that prevails over the whole earth”.
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.
Kavya (poetry)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (kavya)Anagni (अनग्नि) refers to “without fire”, according to Kālidāsa’s Raghuvaṃśa verse 8.25.—Accordingly: “...he, who had arranged the sacrificial fires, performed his last rites without fire (anagni) together with the ascetics”.
Kavya (काव्य, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or ‘epic poetry’ and natya, or ‘dramatic poetry’.

[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.
