In Hinduism

Yoga (school of philosophy)

Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch

Buddhimat (बुद्धिमत्) refers to “one who is wise” (i.e., a wise Yogin), according to the Dattātreyayogaśāstra verse 101.4 and Yogatattvopaniṣat 1.76-78.—Accordingly, while discussing the concerns about the use of Siddhis: “These [Siddhis] are obstacles to the great Siddhi (i.e., liberation). The wise [Yogin] [i.e., buddhimat] does not delight in them. He should never reveal his own power to anyone, except sometimes he may do so to a devotee out of kindness. The Yogin should behave among people as though dumb, simple or deaf, in order to keep his powers hidden. If not, then there will surely be many students [who will] undoubtedly ask the master of Yoga [to intervene] in their own affairs. [Because of this,] he will become preoccupied with carrying out their actions and forgetful of his own [Yoga] practice”.

context information

Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).

Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Buddhimat (बुद्धिमत्) refers to an “intelligent man”, according to the Ṭīkā (commentary) on the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “Now what concerns the Middle (Lineage) will be discussed. ‘The present time..’ and so forth. Where, in which place, should the Vidyā of the present time, that is, Aparā, which is knowledge the nature of which is divine light, be worshipped? This is the connection with what has come before. Who is the wise, intelligent man (buddhimat)? One who has obtained grace. How else is he? ‘He who has entered the city of the intellect.’ He has entered here into his own intellect and is said to have six faces. [...]”..

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.

Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Buddhimat (बुद्धिमत्) refers to “intelligent persons”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.19 (“Gaṇapati’s marriage”).—Accordingly, after Gaṇeśa spoke to Śiva and Pārvatī: “Saying thus, Gaṇeśa of excellent intellect, of great wisdom and foremost among intelligent persons (buddhimat) assumed silence. On hearing his words, Pārvatī and Śiva, the rulers of the universe, were very much surprised. Then, Śiva and Pārvatī praised their son who was clever and intelligent and spoke to him who had spoken the truth”.

context information

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.
