In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramŚatasūrya (शतसूर्य) refers to a “hundred suns”, according to the Kulakaulinīmata 5.88-99.—Accordingly, “The goddess (Tripurabhairavī) is red like vermillion and the Bandhūka flower. [...] A rosary, brilliant like a hundred suns [i.e., śatasūrya-samaprabha], is in the right hand. She makes a fear dispelling gesture with the left and a boon-bestowing one with the right. The garland around her neck hangs down to her feet. Its form divine and enveloped in blazing flames brilliant like the sun, it looks like red coral. [...]”.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
