In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramṢaṭkūṭa (षट्कूट) refers to “six seed-syllables”, according to verse 2.4-6ab of the Ciñcinīmatasārasamuccaya.—Accordingly, “This tradition is Śiva’s vitality which has not emerged (into the realms of limitation). It is endowed with Śiva and Śakti and is the essence of the bliss of both that has expanded out through the lineage. O goddess, it is the root Kula tradition that has emerged as Kula and Kaula. Kaula is of six kinds and, accompanied by six seed-syllables (ṣaṭkūṭa-patita), it is stable. It has emerged with six names and by its extension is the Western Tradition”.
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.

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.
