In Hinduism
Shaktism
Niveśita (निवेशित) refers to “being established” (in a particular lineage), according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, “[...] The goddess was established (niveśita) with devotion in the worship of the Beginningless Liturgy. Both of them were seated there and, in the union of supreme bliss, the venerable Lord of Kula instituted (their) marriage. [...]”.
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.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Niveśitā (निवेशिता) refers to “having placed” (a treatise in the realm of words), according to the 12th century Yogaśāstra (verse 12.55) by Hemacandra: a Jain treatise dealing with Yoga and the highest reality (tattva).—Accordingly, “[This] Upaniṣad of Yoga, which is a cause of wonder in the mind of the assembly of the wise, was known from scripture, from the mouth of a good Guru and a little from experience in various places. Because of the profuse requesting of the Caulukya king, Kumārapāla, it was placed (niveśitā) in the realm of words by his teacher, the honourable Hemacandra. [...]”.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
India history and geography
Niveśita.—(CII 1), written [on stone]. Cf. prāsādo = yaṃ niveśitaḥ (Select Inscriptions, p. 295, text line 19); erected. Note: niveśita is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
