In Hinduism

Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Vandita (वन्दित) means “praised” (i.e., one who is ‘praised’), according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] (The four sacred seats) O JĀ PŪ KĀ (correspond to the four elements) from Earth onwards. The Yoni of Space is the fifth. [...]. Once the division of the Peak (syllable) has been learned, the god Haṃsa should be applied. That man, O lady praised by the heroes [i.e., vīra-vandita], is the destroyer of time (which he does in this) and no other way. There are four syllables for each syllable of the name of (each) seat. The Knots accord with the division (of the syllables of) the seats. (The wise) know that (this is) the arising of the seed-syllable HAṂSA”.

Vandita (वन्दित) refers to “being saluted” (by the Gods), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.51 (“The resuscitation of Kāma”).—Accordingly, after the Gods spoke to Kāma: “[...] Coming back to His apartment, Śiva saluted the sages, Viṣṇu and me according to the worldly convention. He was duly saluted (vandita) by the gods and others. Shouts of ‘Victory’ and ‘Obeisance’ rose up along with the sound of Vedic mantras which were auspicious and which removed all obstacles. Then Viṣṇu, I (Indra), gods, sages, Siddhas, secondary gods and the Nāgas eulogised Him severally”.
