In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramKṛṣṇayāmala (कृष्णयामल) or Kṛṣṇayāmalatantra is the name of a Tantra.—One of the names of the goddess Lalitā, that is, Tripurasundarī, in the Thousand Names of Lalitā—the Lalitāsahasranāmastotra—of the Brahmāṇḍapurāṇa, is “Command” (ājñā). [...] The Kṛṣṇayāmala, a late mediaeval Tantra, presents Kṛṣṇa as Tripurasundarī’s essential nature and, as the Kṛṣṇayāmala says: “she is under the sway of Kṛṣṇa’s command”.
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.

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.
