In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVedamārga (वेदमार्ग) refers to the “Vedic path and rituals”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.41.—Accordingly, as Viṣṇu and others eulogized Śiva:—“[...] O great lord, the lord of the gods and the prescriber of worldly conventions, we know you to be Śiva and Brahman, thanks to your favour. [...] O Śiva, merciful (i.e., dayāpara) that you are, you alone created the sacrifice through Dakṣa for the fulfilment of the Vedas. The delimitations which brahmins, experts in the Vedic path and rituals (i.e., vedamārga-vicakṣaṇa), believe in, end with you in the world”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): (shaktism)Vedamārga (वेदमार्ग) refers to the “Vedic path ”, according to the 17th century Kaulagajamardana (“crushing the Kaula elephant”) authored by Kāśīnātha or Kṛṣṇānandācala.—Accordingly, [as Īśvara said to Pārvatī]: “[...] O great Goddess, hear about the Jain. [...] Some are called, 'great guru', and others pursue nonviolence. These are the different varieties in brief; they are [all] called Pāṣaṇḍas [because] they have been excluded from the vedic path (vedamārga). [...]”
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.
