In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram碍耻峁璱濒腻办峁泃颈 (啶曕啶熰た啶侧ぞ啶曕啶むた) refers to a 鈥渃rooked shape鈥�, according to the Manth膩nabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjik膩.鈥擮ne of the reasons the goddess is called Kubjik膩鈥斺�渢he Bent Over One鈥� is because she assumes the form of the core Triangle, the Yoni in the centre of the ma峁囜笉ala. For the same reason she is called Vakr膩鈥斺�淐rooked One鈥�. She emerges out of the Point in the centre 鈥渂ent over鈥�. Burning brilliantly with her divine fire, the Point in the centre of the Triangle is the 鈥淲ick of the Command鈥� (腻箩帽腻惫补谤迟颈) that has the bent shape of a plough (丑补濒腻办峁泃颈). The goddess, identified with Ku峁囜笉alin墨, is commonly referred to, as is Ku峁囜笉alin墨 in other Tantric traditions, as 鈥渃rooked鈥� (办耻峁璱濒腻). This crooked shape (办耻峁璱濒腻k峁泃i) is related to the goddess's triangular form. This is the shape of her face when she bursts apart the Li峁単a, which is the Point in the centre of the triangle
Shakta (啶多ぞ啶曕啶�, 艣膩kta) or Shaktism (艣膩ktism) 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.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra碍耻峁璱濒腻办峁泃颈 (啶曕啶熰た啶侧ぞ啶曕啶むた) is the name of a 惫颈诲测腻 subdued by R膩va峁嘺, according to the Jain Ramayana and chapter 7.1 [origin of the 谤腻办峁蝉补惫补峁兣沘 and 惫腻苍补谤补惫补峁兣沘] of Hemacandra鈥檚 11th century Tri峁峁ａ弓i艣al膩k膩puru峁caritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly, 鈥淸...] R膩va峁嘺, knowing the highest good, not considering it worthless, remained motionless like a high mountain, absorbed in preeminent meditation. 鈥榃ell done! Well done!鈥� was the cry of gods in the sky, and the Yak峁-servants departed quickly, terrified. One thousand 惫颈诲测腻s, the sky being lighted up by them, came to Da艣膩sya (=R膩va峁嘺), saying aloud, 鈥榃e are subject to you.鈥� [e.g., Kutil膩k峁泃i [碍耻峁璱濒腻办峁泃颈?], ...] great 惫颈诲测腻s beginning with these were subdued by noble Da艣膩sya in just a few days because of his former good acts. [...]鈥�.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
