In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
: Shodhganga: A comparative study of the devotional vaisnavite lyrics of Assam and Bengal³Õ¾±»å²âÄå±è²¹³Ù¾± (विदà¥à¤¯à¤¾à¤ªà¤¤à¤�) was a Maithili court-poet and composed songs in Maithili. His period of life is guessed to be between 1380 A.D. and 1460 A.D. ³Õ¾±»å²âÄå±è²¹³Ù¾±â€™s language, though termed as Maithili, is nevertheless an admixure of Maithili and Avahaá¹á¹ha of Apabhraṃśa. In imitation of ³Õ¾±»å²âÄå±è²¹³Ù¾±, the Vaiṣṇava poets of eastern India created a language namely Brajabuli which contains an admixure of Hindi and Maithili words saturated by their own native forms and idioms.

Vaishnava (वैषà¥à¤£à¤µ, 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 Vishnuâ€�).
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation³Õ¾±»å²âÄå±è²¹³Ù¾± (विदà¥à¤¯à¤¾à¤ªà¤¤à¤�) or SarvavidyÄpati refers to the “lord of all loresâ€�, and represents an epithet of Åšiva, according to the ÅšivapurÄṇa 2.2.31. Accordingly as BrahmÄ narrated to NÄrada:—“[...] O excellent sage, in the meantime a celestial voice arose, even as Daká¹£a, the Devas and others were listening. The celestial Voice said:—‘[...] Åšiva alone is the creator of the universe, the lord of all lores [viz., Sarva-³Õ¾±»å²âÄå±è²¹³Ù¾±], the upholder of the primordial learning and the lord, the most auspicious of the auspicious’â€�.

The Purana (पà¥à¤°à¤¾à¤�, purÄṇas) 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.
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: archive.org: The Indian Buddhist Iconography³Õ¾±»å²âÄå±è²¹³Ù¾± (विदà¥à¤¯à¤¾à¤ªà¤¤à¤�) or ³Õ¾±»å²âÄå±è²¹³Ù¾±lokeÅ›vara refers to number 102 of the 108 forms of AvalokiteÅ›vara found in the Machhandar Vahal (Kathmanu, Nepal). [Machhandar or Machandar is another name for for Matsyendra.].
´¡³¦³¦´Ç°ù»å¾±²Ô²µ±ô²â,â€�
“³Õ¾±»å²âÄå±è²¹³Ù¾� is also similar to [Piṇá¸apÄtra LokeÅ›vara], except that here the god shows the empty right hand against his chest while his left holds the lotus. The chowrie hangs from his right shoulder.—Piṇá¸apÄtra LokeÅ›vara is one-faced and two-armed and stands on a lotus. He holds the Piṇá¸apÄtra (the bowl) in his two hands near the navel.—Piṇá¸apÄtra LokeÅ›vara. He is one-faced and two-armed and stands on a lotus. He holds the Piṇá¸apÄtra (the bowl) in his two hands near the navelâ€�.
The names of the 108 deities [viz., ³Õ¾±»å²âÄå±è²¹³Ù¾±] possbily originate from a Tantra included in the Kagyur which is named “the 108 names of Avalokiteshvaraâ€�, however it is not yet certain that this is the source for the Nepali descriptions. Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (±¹²¹Âá°ù²¹²âÄå²Ô²¹) are collected indepently.
India history and geography

Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
