In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: archive.org: Indian Historical Quarterly Vol. 7 (shaivism)Lukī (लुकी) refers to one of the twenty-four names of the Lāmās, according to the 8th-centry Jayadratha-yāmala.—While describing the special practices of the Lāmās mentions the special language to be used with them. This language is described as monosyllabic (ekākṣara-samullāpa) and may thus be considered to have belonged to the Sino-Tibetan family as the Lamas themselves belonged to the Tibetan group of mystics. The Lāmās [viz., Lukī], according to this language, had 24 different names.
