In Hinduism

Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Vilāsin (विलासिन्) (Cf. Vilāsinī) refers to “one who is the Playful One”, according to the Lalitāsahasranāma.—Lalitā’s thousand names are eulogized in the Lalitāsahasranāma, describing the goddess’s spiritual beauty on the analogy of physical, sensuous beauty. [...] The goddess enjoys love games (ramaṇī) (310). She delights in intercourse (ratipriyā) (316) and craves for it (ramaṇalampaṭā) (320). She is the Playful One (vilāsinī) (340), served by Kāma, the Lord of Love (kāmasevitā) (586). The goddess is the source of Kāmadeva’s power. She gave him his sugar cane bow and arrows. [...]
