In Hinduism

Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Bhoktṛtva (भोक्तृत्व) refers to the “condition of the enjoyer”, according to the Jayadrathayāmala verse 1.3.70ff.—Accordingly, “The imperishable and glorious energy (saṃbhūti) in the condition of the enjoyer (bhoktṛtva), the object of enjoyment (bhogya) and enjoyment (bhoga) (itself) in spiritual disciplines (sādhana) and the like is in every respect Bimbī, who is considered to be the eternal (nityā) Mother. And she is pure, attained through liberation. No association with impurity is perceived independently of her”.

Bhoktṛtva (भोक्तृत्व) refers to “being the agent of experience”, according to the Netratantroddyota commentary on the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 4.5cd-6, while describing the purification process of the initiand]—“[...] Once he has performed the saṃskāra [called] separation, whose nature is the absence of being the agent of experience (bhoktṛtva-abhāvarūpa), once all bhogas have been completed]. Then, as proclaimed by tradition, [he should] cut the bonds with the astramantra. [...]”.

Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
