In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Isvara Samhita Vol 1Śaktīśa (शक्तीश) or Śaktīśa refers to one of the various Vibhava manifestations according to the Īśvarasaṃhitā 24.200-211.—Accordingly, “Śaktīśa is then to be considered (thought) as having the eyes resembling the lotus, who takes a form as He likes, calm (pleasant) has a, smiling face, who is pressing the ground (earth) with the pair of feet and the two hands in order to manifest, out of sympathy, the fruits of the devotees having a splendour consistent with the yuga, having four faces and four arms, holding the discus and mace in their embodied forms with the hands and marked by the lotus also corporeal”.
These Vibhavas (e.g., Śaktyātman) represent the third of the five-fold manifestation of the Supreme Consciousness the Pāñcarātrins believe in.
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationŚaktīśa (शक्तीश) refers to the “lord of energies” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.28 (“Description of the fraudulent words of the Brahmacārin”).—Accordingly, as Pārvatī said to Śiva (in guise of a Brahmacārin): “[...] With the threefold Energies, Śiva blesses those who worship Him always as the lord of Energies (śaktīśa). Every individual soul becomes fearless and conquers death by worshipping Him. Hence His designation ‘the conqueror of death’ is famous in all the three worlds. Viṣṇu attains and retains his Viṣṇu-hood by His favour. Similarly Brahmā his Brahma-hood and the gods their godhood. [...]”.
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.
