In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSaṃprārthya (संप्रार्थ्य) refers to “making a request”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.41 (“Description of the Altar-Structure”).—Accordingly, as mount Himavat (Himācala) said to Nārada: “[...] Showing kindness to me you take your food and rest for a while. Then gladly accompany Maināka and others to Śiva’s presence. Accompanied by these mountains you request (saṃprārthya) Śiva along with the gods, and the great sages, Śiva whose sproutlike feet are worshipped by gods and demons. Bring them here”.
The Purana (पुराण, 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.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramSaṃprārthya (संप्रार्थ्य) refers to “asking (for the Command)” (of all the Siddhas), according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—[...] The Command (ājñā) can be that of the goddess or that of the god, the teacher or the entire lineage of Siddhas. It is transmitted through the lineage of the Siddhas who are accordingly said to guard it. The ‘oldest lineages’ that are common to all the Western Tradition generate the Command of radiant expansion. Accordingly, when the neophant receives the consecration, he should ask (saṃprārthya) for the Command (ājñā) of all the Siddhas, not just that of his teacher and the deity. [...]
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
