Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramTisrapīṭha (तिस्रपीठ) (or Tisra) refers to Trisrota: a sacred seat associated with the Goddess Trisrotā, according to Tantric texts such as the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Although Trisrota (or Triśrotra) which is the full name of Tisra is mentioned only here in the Kubjikāmatatantra, it appears frequently in the later Kubjikā Tantras, especially the Manthānabhairavatantra. [...] Tisra, like the seat Mātaṅga, is said to be meant for the 'last-born', those of the lowest castes, especially sweepers (mātaṅga). The deities here are the god and goddess of the sweepers—Mātaṅgīśa and Mātaṅgī, who is identified with a form of Kubjikā called Juṣṭacaṇḍālinī.
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.
