Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationMathita (मथित) refers to “(being smashed) by the maces”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.7 (“Commencement of the War”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Wounded and killed by great weapons, hundreds and thousands of heroic soldiers fell on the ground. The arms of some were cut off by terrible blows from swords. Others lost their thighs in the battle of those honourable, heroic people. The entire body of some was smashed (mathita) by the maces; the chests and hearts of some were pounded by iron clubs; some were felled to the ground by spears and dragged with nooses. [...]”.

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.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramMathita (मथित) refers to the “churning (of the cosmic egg)”, as discussed in the Yogakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, as the Goddess says to Mahādeva: “[...] The God of the gods, the Supreme Lord without beginning, the agent of the emanation of the radiant energy (to which belongs all that) extends from Brahmā up to the end of the worlds, slept. O Hara, the unmanifest god, generated the Cosmic Egg (aṇḍa). O fair faced one, there in the middle, you and I abided for a cosmic age. O Bhairava, by the Yoga of the Sequence of Withdrawal, I came to be. O beautiful one, listen to what I, who had just come forth, did. Taking that Egg into (my) hand, I churned it (mathita). Then when the Egg had been churned, Brahmā and Viṣṇu came into being”.
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.
