In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationJagadānanda (जगदानन्द) refers to the “bliss of the universe”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.41.—Accordingly, as Viṣṇu and others eulogized Śiva:—“[...] obeisance to Thee the blue-necked, the creator, the supreme soul, the universe, the seed of the universe and the cause of the bliss of the universe (i.e., jagadānanda-hetu). You are Oṃkāra, Vaṣaṭkāra, the initiator of enterprises, Hantakāra, Svadhākāra and the partaker of Havya and Kavya offerings always”.
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)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramJagadānanda (जगदानन्द) means “beautiful with cosmic bliss”, according to Abhinavagupta’s Tantrāloka:—Accordingly, “[...] And that (emission) itself is God (bhagavat) whose nature shines perpetually within and is endowed with the energy of the centre, which is full of the current of all the things within (him). Beautiful with Cosmic Bliss (jagadānanda) generated from (his own) essential nature (that he has) aroused by (his) own will, he shines perpetually, beautiful with the juice (rasa) (of the aesthetic savor) of complete emission. That is the (pulsing) union (saṃghaṭṭa) of Śiva and Śakti said to be (their) love (sneha)”.
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.
Shaiva philosophy
Source: archive.org: Chittanubodha Shastram By Bhaskara KanthaJagadānanada (जगदाननद) refers to “universal bliss”, according to the Pratyabhijñā (lit. “divine recognition”) philosophical branch of Kashmir Śaivism.— According to the Pratyabhijñā doctrine the only way to liberation is the recognition of our own divine nature. There is no question of becoming something which we were not already, but of removing the veil and the dirt covering the luminous nature of Śiva in us. The aim is nothing but jīvanmukti (liberation in this life itself), which means living in the uninterrupted consciousness of Śiva as our very own nature. This is the realization of our true ‘I’, the fullness of I-consciousness. In such a state the jīvanmukta lives in the awareness that everything is his own self. This corresponds to a state of universal love. For the supreme state of bliss is not a subjective enjoyment, but universal bliss (jagadānanda).

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
