Thus content (tuṣṭa), she gives [a boon, saying to the Sādhaka], ‘Good, my dear! Choose a boon: either lord of the earth, immortality, levitation, [entry into the] nether-worlds, coming and going through the sky, invisibility, the elixir of mercury, the wish-fulfilling gem, the [magical] sword, the [seven-league] sandals or the [occult] eye collyrium’ [...]”
Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).

O causal ocean of destruction! Lord of the Universe! I have come to the Island of Jambu, O god, frightened with the fear of the ocean of transmigratory existence. O Great God, I who desire liberation have taken refuge in you. Destroy all the net of (binding) forces. You who are austerity (itself); (you) are my refuge!’ [...]”.
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.

They, having been pleased and delighted (hṛṣṭa-tuṣṭa), never feel regret about it, and they always give a gift after having been liberated [...]’”.
