General definition (in Hinduism)
Source: escholarship: Gāruḍa Medicine: A History of Snakebite and Religious Healing in South AsiaBṛhattantrasāra (बृहत्तन्त्रसार) (or simply Tantrasāra) by Kṛṣṇānanda Vāgīśa’s (i.e., Kṛṣṇānanda Āgamavāgīśa Bhaṭṭācārya) is a Tantric digest composed in Bengal in the last part of the sixteenth century and still widely influential there today. The section of most interest, labeled “garuḍamantra” begins with a coded version of the Vipati-mantra, apparently drawn from the Śāradātilaka because the verse is identical. What follows, not drawn from the Śāradātilaka, is a relatively detailed summary of the major ancillary mantras, nyāsa procedures, and visualization to be used with the Vipati for curing snakebite. [...] The Bṛhattantrasāra also has passages on Tvaritā and Bheruṇḍā vidyās, but only in their identities as Nityā goddesses, and without any association with snakebite.
