In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramViplava (विप्लव) refers to the “distress” (e.g., of Bhairava), according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, as Bhairava said to the Goddess:—“O goddess, do not disdain (my) distress (viplava). Bestow upon me the Command of grace (prasādājñā). If you do not consider (that you possess the) status of a teacher (in my regards then at least) do your own (work) out of friendship”.
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.
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (vaishnavism)Viplava (विप्लव) refers to the “distortions (that are wrong views)” according to Vedānta Deśika’s Yatirājasaptati (verse 73).—Accordingly, “May the Yatirājasaptati, the lamp that aids the Upaniṣads by which the distortions that are wrong views are extinguished (upaśamita-kudṛṣṭi-viplava), give us the knowledge that encompasses both the vibhūtis of the Blessed One”.
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
Sports, Arts and Entertainment (wordly enjoyments)
Source: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)Viplava (विप्लव) refers to “bewilderment”, according to the Śyainika-śāstra: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by Rājā Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, [while discussing the outlines of hawking]: “Those birds that have confidence in each other should be cast off together. This has such a charm that poets get bewildered (viplava) [dikṣu kavīnāṃ viplavāya tu]. Drums are to be sounded to make the waterfowl leave the water, so that the hawks may take them out of their element”.
This section covers the skills and profiencies of the Kalas (“performing arts”) and Shastras (“sciences”) involving ancient Indian traditions of sports, games, arts, entertainment, love-making and other means of wordly enjoyments. Traditionally these topics were dealt with in Sanskrit treatises explaing the philosophy and the justification of enjoying the pleasures of the senses.
