In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramKulapañcāśikā (कुलपञ्चाशिका) is an unpublished text which, like the Kaulajñānanirṇaya, is attributed to Matsyendranātha and similarly teaches secrecy. There the goddess asks why those ‘great heroes’ who reside and move around at night in cremation grounds do not always manage to unite with the Yoginīs there.—The Kulapañcāśikā is quoted by Kṣemarāja in his commentary on the Netratantra 8.28 (= Kulapañcāśikā 3.7-8) and on Śivasūtra 3.26 (= Kulapañcāśikā 3.19).
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.
