In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramMantavya (मन्तव्य) (Cf. Karaṇa) refers to “directing one’s consciousness to a specific object”, according to the Svacchandabhairavatantra.—[...] We find that the Transmental [i.e., unmanā] appears, as usual, at the upper extremity of a progressive ascent of consciousness through the phases of the syllable OṂ. [...] The level of the energy of the Equal One (samanā) is projected symbolically onto the topknot (śikhā) at the apex of the microcosmic body. Here the yogi experiences the ‘equal flavour’ (samarasa) of all things. His consciousness not directed to a specific object (mantavya), his mind abides in a state of pure indeterminate awareness (mananamātra). By rising beyond this level, the yogi’s consciousness is purified and comes to rest in the power of the Transmental (unmanā), which is the undivided Light that illumines the entire universe, and attains Śiva
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.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationMantavya (मन्तव्य) (Cf. Vimantavya) refers to “consideration” [?], according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.13 (“Śiva-Pārvatī dialogue”).—Accordingly, as Pārvatī said to Śiva: “[...] O Yogin, what have I to do with an argument with you? Scholars say that without perception inference has no authority at all. As long as the embodied beings remain the objects of the sense-organs, everything is Prākṛta. Wise men consider it so [i.e., vimantavya—tāvatsarvaṃ vi maṃtavyaṃ prākṛtaṃ jñānibhirdhiyā]. O lord of ascetics, a long-winded talk is of no avail. Listen to my emphatic statement. I am Prakṛti and you are Puruṣa. This is the truth. There is no doubt about it. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
