In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (shaktism)Pradyumnāvatāra (प्रद्युम्नावतार) is the author of the Śārikāstrotra.—This text is “a mālāmantra in prose with a dhyānaśloka in the beginning and two verses at the end”. [...] From this stotra we can gather something about the iconography of the deity, for instance the attributes held in her eighteen arms, her names, the seven goddesses (amā etc.) that form her retinue and their symbolism.
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.
