In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramSaṃpravartata (संप्रवर्तत) refers to “that which takes place”, according to the Kularatnapañcakāvatāra verse 5.12-13.—Accordingly, “If the basic state of the teacher and the one who takes (initiation) accords with sattva, then the Śāmbhava (initiation by) piercing certainly takes place [i.e., saṃpravartata]. One should know that the one due to Śakti (takes place) when there is rajas and in the case of tamas it is considered to be the Āṇava one. O fair lady, when the basic state is a mixed one, the triple Command operates [i.e., saṃpravartata]”.
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.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSaṃpravartata (संप्रवर्तत) refers to “that (sacrifice) which is in the making”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.16 (“Brahmā consoles the gods”).—Accordingly, as the Gods said to Brahmā: “[...] Our woman folk, the groups of heavenly nymphs have been captured by Tāraka, the powerful. No sacrifice is in the making [i.e., saṃpravartata]. No ascetic is in penances. The charitable and virtuous activities are being seldom pursued in the worlds. His commander-in-chief is a simple demon—Krauñca. He has now gone to the nether worlds and is harassing the people very much. [...]”.
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.
