Source: Addaiyan Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences: Tantra Literature of Kerala- Special Reference to MātṛsadbhāvaŚeṣasamuccaya (शेषसमुच्चय) by Cennās Śankaran Nambūtiri was written in the fifteenth century, which is discussed the rituals of many deities such as Brahma, Sūrya, Vaiśravaṇa, Kṛṣṇa, Sarasvati, Lakṣmī, Pārvati, Jyeṣṭhābhagavati, Bhadrakāli, Sapta-mātṛs, Rurujit and Śiva. The Chapters 7-9 of Śeṣasamuccaya is focused on the rituals of Goddess Rurujit along with Sapta-mātṛs. The auto commentary of Śeṣasamuccaya by the same author says the ritual of Goddess Rurujit was taken from Mātṛsadbhāva. Śeṣasamuccaya is only one text, which quotes Mātṛsadbhāva and it also summarizes the ritual of Goddess Rurujit within three chapters.
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.
India history and geography
Source: Yale Journal of Music & Religion: Ritual Music in Contemporary Brahmanical Tantric Temples of KeralaŚeṣasamuccaya (शेषसमुच्चय) is the name of a ritualistic text written in the 15th century—Śeṣasamuccaya, composed shortly after the Tantrasamuccaya as its corollary, prescribed a Brahmanized version of the ritual procedure for a number of goddesses, including Bhadrakālī and the Sapta Mātṛkas, who had not been described in the main text. Indeed, Śākta traditions of worship thrived in Kerala. The Śeṣasamuccaya indicates as its source the Mātṛsadbhāva, the twelfth-century text devoted to the cult of the Sapta Mātṛkas, and this, in turn, was linked to the Śākta southern Brahmayāmala texts (19th centuries).
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
