In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramAprameyātman (अप्रमेयात्मन्) refers to “one who is free of objectivity”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, “[...] Free of objectivity (aprameyātman) and residing in his own foundation, (he contemplated himself) in order to fashion the wheel called (the Wheel of) Bliss. Thus, O fair lady, as he contemplated himself, billions of aeons passed for (the god who) abides in the aloof reality (of transcendence). Then, the benefactor of the universe, for the benefit of (his) attendants conceived the thought which is supreme Nirvāṇa, namely: ‘Who is our attendant?’. [...]”.
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.
