In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramUdyānaka (उद्यानक) refers to sacred seats (pīṭha) associated with Sadyojāta, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “The face Sadyojāta (in the west) is the supreme sacred seat Udyānaka. The sacred seat which is said to be Vāmadeva (in the north) is Pūrṇagiri. Jālandhara is the sacred seat of Aghora (in the south) and its light is (like that of) the Fire of Time. One should know that the sacred seat called Kāma is the all-pervasive lord Tatpuruṣa (in the east). The abode of all the primary and secondary seats, the meeting grounds, primary and secondary sacred fields and the rest is said to be the omnipresent Īśāna (above)”.
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.
