[...] (This) the third sacred seat, with (its) many diverse modalities (namely) the tree, creeper, cremation ground, guardian, creeper, monastery, gesture, and cave, should be worshipped, contemplated and known by means of (the deity’s) energy, in accord with the Kula liturgy (krama) along with him (the lord who is) mounted on the wheel of the aggregate of all the energies [i.e., sakala-kalāvyūha-cakrārūḍha]”.
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.
