Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (shaktism)Sadbhakti (सद्भक्ति) refers to “true devotion”, according to Sāhib Kaul’s Śārikāstrotra.—Accordingly, “With true devotion (sadbhakti) I worship that divine and omnipresent Śārikā, who bears the crescent moon on her head, who grants liberation, destroys delusion everywhere, destroys the bad fear of meeting a wrong death. O mother Śārikā, whoever devotedly recites your tāra-syllable, which carries one across the ocean of transmigration, may, when his wisdom is ripened through the knowledge of the absolute, even put to shame the Lord of the Word. [...]”.

You are all pervasive. You manifest yourself by good devotion (sadbhakti). You are free from aberrations. You are the goal of the good. O Lord Śiva, by devotion alone people have attained the power of miracles. They became indifferent to the pleasures they enjoy or the miseries they have to face. [...]”.

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.
