In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramṇānԻ岹 (किरणानन्�) is another name of īś: one of the Nine Nāthas according to the Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka: a derative text drawing from Tantras and other sources such as the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā.—The Nine Nāthas propagated the Western Transmission noted in the Kubjikā Tantras. Although each Siddha has a consort with which he shares some part of his spiritual discipline, she is not considered to be his wife. Thus, from the perspective of his identity as an initiate, he is not a householder.—Trivikrama is the name at birth (i.e., the original names of the Siddhas) of īś. His [other] famed names are: Vyomānanda, Udayānanda and ṇānԻ岹. A Nātha may have more than one such ‘famed name� (īپ峾), according to the number of extraordinary events especially associated with him.
The Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka describes the extraordinary events that inspired his “famed names�: Trivikrama was called Vyomānandanātha because when he was in the city of Kanyākubja he stopped the movement of the sun and fixed it in the sky for twelve days. He was called Udayānanda because he illuminated (udyotita) Kaula, that is, the union of Śiva and Śakti. He was called ṇānԻ岹-nātha because on another occasion he concealed the rays of the sun.

Shakta (शाक्�, 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.
