In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramTrisrota (त्रिस्रोत) refers to a sacred seat associated with the Goddess Trisrotā, according to Tantric texts such as the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, as the Goddess (i.e., Kubjikā) said: “[...] That sacred seat is both supreme (transcendent) and lower (immanent). It is located in the middle land (madhyadeśa) above the sacred seat of Kāma. It is filled with three streams , and so (the goddess) Trisrotā is also in the same way. O Māṅgalyā, you are in the form of a river; be of the nature of passion (kāmarūpiṇī)”.
Note: Although Trisrota (or Triśrotra) which is the full name of Tisra is mentioned only here in the [Kubjikāmatatantra], it appears frequently in the later Kubjikā Tantras, especially the [Manthānabhairavatantra]. Indeed, it takes over the position of Mātaṅga as the fifth sacred seat with which it is identified and, anyway, with which it is related. Thus, Mātaṅga is the name of the Yogi in Tisra. [...] But although the intended identity of the two seats Trisrota and Mātaṅga is clear, there are differences. The [Kumārikākhaṇḍa] concurs that this seat is in the region of Kāmarūpa. It is in the “northern part amidst the worlds of the Triple Peak”. It is called ‘Trisrota’ after a river that runs through it and is said to be in the middle of three currents (trisrota).
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.
