In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramJñānavijñāna (ज्ञानविज्ञान) refers to “knowledge and wisdom”, according to the Jayadrathayāmala verse 1.14.23-24.—Accordingly, “Devoted to the teacher, god and fire, expert in mantra and ritual (tantra), endowed with knowledge and wisdom [i.e., jñānavijñāna-saṃpanna], one who praises (the observance of) vows and Tantric practice (caryā) resides in the sacred seat of the great Bhairava, his form fashioned from energies (kalā). His mind intent on (the practice of) that Yoga, he impels the sacred seat of mantras”.
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.
In Buddhism

Source: MDPI Books: The Ocean of HeroesJñānavijñāna (ज्ञानविज्ञान) refers to “both gnosis and discerning”, according to the 10th-century Ḍākārṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Accordingly, while explaining the mind-circle: “[...] Owing to the nature of [both] gnosis and discerning (jñānavijñāna) [jñānavijñānabhāvatvāt], [the circle] itself has the parts of charnel grounds. This [circle] is among the three circles in the Emanation [Layer] by name. Subsequently, the other two circles, all of them (both), are explained. The Mind Circle, the first, is thus [taught] [...]”.

Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.
