In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Pariṇata (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.
Ayurveda (science of life)
Agriculture (Krishi) and Vrikshayurveda (study of Plant life)
Pariṇata (परिणत) refers to “having become a fully ripe fruit”, according to the Vṛkṣāyurveda by Sūrapāla (1000 CE): an encyclopedic work dealing with the study of trees and the principles of ancient Indian agriculture.—Accordingly, “A small hole should be bored in a tender Benincasa hispida, and the seed of the Azadirachta indica, profusely smeared with honey and melted butter should be dropped in through the hole. 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”.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. 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.
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Pariṇata (परिणत) refers to “(having been) transformed”, according to the Kalaśa Pūjā [i.e., Kalasha Worship] ritual often performed in combination with the Cakrasaṃvara Samādhi, which refers to the primary pūjā and sādhanā practice of Newah Mahāyāna-Vajrayāna Buddhists in Nepal.—Accordingly, “Instantly the letter Vaṃ transforms (pariṇata), into a Kalaśa made of various jewels, Observe the shape produced, the white residing inside the Dharmodayā”.
Pariṇata (परिणत) refers to “having been developed”, according to the 10th-century Ḍākārṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Accordingly, “[...] From the causal vajra, [a maṇḍala] is developed (pariṇata), [which] consists of the five hundred and four and so on. 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.
