In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram1) Jagadyoni (जगद्योनि) and Jagaddhātri refers to the pair of Goddess and God appearing in the second Kalpa (aeon), according to the Kularatnoddyota.—Chapter nine of the Kularatnoddyota opens with the goddess asking how the Kula tradition (kulāmnāya) will be worshipped along with its mantras and Vidyās and who will bring it down (avatāraka) into the world in the various cosmic aeons (kalpa). After explaining that it is brought down into the world by incarnations or aspects of both the god and the goddess (aṃśamātra), the god goes on to list the names of these aspects—a goddess and her consort.
2) Jagadyoni (जगद्योनि) is another name for Umā, according to the Tantrasadbhāva chapter 10: “She is called Umā and is endowed with every (form of) worldly benefit. (All) worship that goddess. She is like a mother who is always giving birth. O fair-faced one, having brought her down along with me into the midst of fettered souls (aṇu), O eternal one, she appeared in order to grace the worlds. In the second aeon (kalpa) (she was) Jagadyoni (Source of the Universe), [...]”.
3) Jagadyoni (जगद्योनि) refers to the “womb of the universe”, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “The face called the Lower World is on the path below. It is all bliss (sarva-ānandamaya), secret, omniscient, and facing everywhere. It generates the six-fold path (of the universe). It is all things, the place where death arises (as well as) the seed and womb of the universe (jagadyoni). It is the abode of the mother, the secret energy. That current is the lord Akula who, in order to emanate the universe, conceives his own imperishable Self to be Śakti”.
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
