The one with an (ultimate) end is the Śāmbhava plane. (Amongst these ten) four are Lions and so are located in the middle of the seat. Not contrary to one another, they are the Lions on the path of (ritual and yogic) action (kriyāmārga)”.
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.
