In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramPariṇata (परिणत) refers to “having become” (the Command), according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, [while illustrating the composition of the Goddess’s body]: “[...] O god, (I) have become (pariṇata) the Command of those teachers and reside in their mouth. One should not mention (their) caste if men are worthy of worship by the lord’s Command. She resides within the sequence which is such and is the excellent worshipper of the divine Transmission impelled by the god. In the Śrīsamaya she is the teachers’ protector and, impelled by the awakened one, bestows liberation in the Śrīśāsana. [...]”.
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.

After the gourd is fully ripe (pariṇata) the seed should be carefully extracted and sown. It then produces plant which ample wealth in the form of Solanum melongena of huge size”.

Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.

The wheel of maṇḍala completely manifests by ceaselessly singing voices: ‘O Lord, though people invite [you] to feast every day, why do you remain in emptiness? Please arise, O Lord, the compassionate one, for me! Please love [me]. O you Great Pleasure, Vajra-holder! [...]”.
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.
