The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramPrasūta (प्रसूत) refers to “(being) born from (one’s great bodily essence)”, according to the Kularatnoddyota verse 2.12-20.—Accordingly, “[...] (He worshipped thus) with (offerings) of the most excellent and divine Great Incense and many kinds of ornaments, established in supreme non-duality with (substances) born from (his) great bodily essence (mahādhātu-prasūta). Endowed with supreme bliss and holding the great argha vessel, the Lord of the gods, worshipped, O dear one, the great and excellent Wheel and he, the emperor and Lord of the Śrīkula, deftly put all the Śrīkramas, including the sequence of the Child and the rest, in place in accord with the sequence”.
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.

Source: Shodhganga: Drumavichitrikarnam—Plant mutagenesis in ancient IndiaPrasūta (प्रसूत) refers to “producing (fruits)” (with different tastes), by using a recipe for the bio-organic manipulating of fruit-giving trees, 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 ball made out of (piṇḍīkṛta) the mixture of Thevetia peruviana, Gloriosa superba, the big and small Solanum indicum kept in the hole at the root of a tree watered with the same mixture, produces (prasūta) pungent fruits [prasūte tiktaṃ phalaṃ] (on that tree) although their natural taste is sweet”.
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.
