In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Shodhganga: Iconographical representations of ŚivaPiṅgalamata (पिङ्गलमत) or Piṅgalamatāgama refers to one of upāgamas (supplementary scriptures) of the Prodgītāgama which is one of the twenty-eight Siddhāntāgama: a classification of the Śaiva division of Śaivāgamas. The Śaivāgamas represent the wisdom that has come down from lord Śiva, received by Pārvatī and accepted by Viṣṇu. The purpose of revealing upāgamas (e.g., Piṅgala-mata Āgama) is to explain more elaborately than that of mūlāgamas (e.g., Prodgīta-āgama) and to include any new idea if not dealt in mūlāgamas.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramPiṅgalāmata (पिङ्गलामत) refers to one of the eight Mata Tantras or Upamatas (“secondary Matas”), according to the Jayadrathayāmala: one of the earliest and most extensive sources of the emergent Kālīkrama.—The common meaning of the word ‘mata’ is ‘point of view’, ‘doctrine’, ‘teaching’ or by extension ‘school of thought’. In a technical sense, the word conveys a number of other related meanings. A Mata is a type of Tantra. [...] The canon of the Śrīkaṇṭhīyasaṃhitā, accepted as authoritative by Kashmiri Śaivites, like those of several other Bhairava Tantras, including the Jayadrathayāmala, classify the Bhairava Tantras into eight groups of eight Tantras. In this ideal scheme there are said to be eight Mata Tantras [e.g., Piṅgalāmata].
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.
