In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationTejorūpā (तेजोरूपा) refers to “(she who has) brilliant features” and is used to describe Pārvatī, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.23 (“Attempt of Himavat to dissuade Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, after Viṣṇu spoke to the Gods and others: “Thus urged by the great lord Viṣṇu they set out desirous of seeing the Pināka-bearing lord Śiva. At first Viṣṇu and others who were anxious to see the penance of Pārvatī went to her hermitage which was on the way. On seeing the excellent penance of Pārvatī and being enveloped by her refulgence they bowed to her who was engaged in penance and who had brilliant features [i.e., tejorūpa]. [...]”.
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: ManthanabhairavatantramTejorūpā (तेजोरूपा) refers to “she who is radiant energy”, according to the Ambāmatasaṃhitā (verse 8.85cd-88ab).—Accordingly, “[...] Ciñcānātha is the ocean of the three Lords of the Lineages. They play with him in the pool (taṭāka) encompassed by Ciñcinī. Ciñcinī is the supreme Śakti, she is Parā whose nature is nectar. She is the radiant energy (tejorūpā) on the path of mantra. Auspicious, she is full of the Command. The supreme god Vidyārājeśvara (i.e. Navātman) was first pervaded by her. (He is) Śrīnātha endowed with power and so goes by the name Ciñcinin. [...]”.
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.
