In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Ārādhita (आराधित) refers to “propitiating”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.21 (“Nārada instructs Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as Nārada said to Pārvatī: “O goddess, listen to the wonderful efficacy of this formula on hearing which Śiva becomes excessively pleased. This formula is a king of all formulas. It yields all cherished desires, bestows all worldly pleasures and salvation, and appeals much to Śiva. Repeating this formula in accordance with the injunctions you shall propitiate [i.e., ārādhita] Śiva. He will certainly appear before you”.
Ārādhita (आराधित).—A son of Jayatsena and father of Ayutāyu.*
- * Viṣṇu-purāṇa IV. 20. 4.
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)
Ārādhitā (आराधिता) refers to “she who is worshipped” (i.e., the Goddess), 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, “[...] She who offers Śaṃkara a boon, the faultless energy of Viṣṇu, worshipped by (this) hymn [i.e., ārādhitā—stotreṇārādhitā], spoke (the following) words free of fear. The mistress of the sacred seats said: ‘O Rudra, born from nectar! Fire born from the Middle Country! Vyāsa! Śaṃkara! Śrīkaṇṭha! Why do you contemplate me? Why am I praised (in this way)? Tell me the cause (of this) as it really is!’”.
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.
