In Hinduism
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarUccarita (उच्चरित).—Pronounced or uttered; the phrase उच्चरितप्रध्वंसिनः (uccaritapradhvaṃsinaḥ) is used in connection with the mute indicatory letters termed इत् (it) in Pāṇini's grammar, as these letters are not actually found in use in the language and are therefore supposed to vanish immediately after their purpose has been served. The phrase 'उच्चरितप्रध्वंसिनो (uccaritapradhvaṃsino)Sनुबन्धाः (nubandhāḥ)' has been given as a Paribhāṣā by Vyāḍi (Pari.11), in the Cāndra Vyākaraṇa (Par. 14), in the Kātantra Vyākaraṇa (Pari.54) and also in the Kalāpa Vyākaraṇa (Par. 71). Patañjali has used the expression उच्चरितप्रध्वंसिनः (uccaritapradhvaṃsinaḥ) in connection with ordinary letters of a word, which have existence for a moment and which also vanish immediately after they have been uttered; cf. उच्चरितप्रध्वंसिनः खल्वपि वर्णाः (uccaritapradhvaṃsinaḥ khalvapi varṇāḥ) ...न वर्णो वर्णस्य सहायः (na varṇo varṇasya sahāyaḥ) M. Bh. on I.4. 109.
Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramUccārita (उच्चारित) refers to “that which was uttered”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “Those who are overcome with greed and the like do what is forbidden. The goddesses take away from him whatever they have uttered before (pūrva-uccārita). Then the goddesses take away from the one who has transgressed Śiva's pledge (whatever) other accomplishment (he may have achieved). The Siddhas of the Śrīsamaya and the rest, who are in the maṇḍala have been mentioned in due order”.
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.
In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: De Gruyter: A Buddhist Ritual Manual on AgricultureUccārita (उच्चारित) refers to “recitation (of the root-heart offering manual)”, according to the Vajratuṇḍasamayakalparāja, an ancient Buddhist ritual manual on agriculture from the 5th-century (or earlier), containing various instructions for the Sangha to provide agriculture-related services to laypeople including rain-making, weather control and crop protection.—Accordingly, “From here onwards there is the Offering Manual of the Root-Heart. Merely upon recitation (uccārita—sahoccāritamātrayā), all Nāgas tremble. It wards off winds and clouds by a pomegranate branch or oleander creeper and it should be held at the top of the [Nāga] lake. [...]”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.
