[...]�.

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.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

He saw the mendicant in the human form in his court-yard. [...] Then he saw him in the form of a mass of splendour of no specific shape. It was unsullied, free from peculiar attributes (Ծܱ) and desires. It was wonderfully formless. Thus he saw many forms and features there. He was surprised and delighted much. [...]�.

The Purana (पुरा�, 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.
Vedanta (school of philosophy)

There is no void and no anguish. [...] For me who am blessed and without limitation (Ծܱ), there is no initiation or scripture, no disciple or teacher, and no goal of human existence. [kva cāsti puruṣārtho vā nirupādhe� śivasya me] [...]�.

Vedanta (वेदान्�, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
