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.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramTridhāma (त्रिधाम) [=Dhāmatraya?] refers to the “three abodes” (of the universe), according to the commentary on the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “Kubjikā is the crooked (energy) of those two (the Sun and the Moon). [...] Or else, (one can say that) she is crooked in all circumstances and (as such) is the Peak seed-syllable AIṂ. Or else (one can say that) she is in a state of oneness [i.e., aikyabhūtā] or, she pervades everywhere in (her) contracted state. She who possesses (all these states and forms of being) is Kubjikā. The universe, consisting of the three abodes [i.e., dhāmatraya], is merged and develops within her residence. This is the description of Kubjikā”.
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.
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (vaishnavism)Tridhāman (त्रिधामन्) refers to the “threefold splendour”, according to the Vedānta Deśika’s Yatirājasaptati.—When we come to the poem’s understanding of the divinity of Rāmānuja we find a wide spectrum of meanings. [...] Verse 27 lauds Rāmānuja as the aggregation of the threefold splendour (saṃvalita-tridhāman) of Agni (śikhāvat), the moon (auṣadhīśa) and the sun (tāpana). In verse 32 Rāmānuja is seen as having the same capacity to offer protection to the world as Viṣvaksena, with the latter’s cane staff transformed into his ascetic’s rod.
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram (shaivism)Tridhāman (त्रिधामन्) (Cf. Dhāmatritaya) refers to the “three abodes” (of emanation, persistence and destruction), according to the Mahānayaprakāśa by Arṇasiṃha (Cf. verse 182-197).—Accordingly, “The pure Lord who consumes the destruction of the three abodes (dhāmatritaya) (of emanation, persistence and destruction) and, limitless, attains the supreme (state) in a moment is said to be Khagendra”.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
