Agama, states Dhavamony, is also a "generic name of religious texts which are at the basis of Hinduism". [8] Other terms used for these texts can include saṃhitā (“collection”), sūtra (“aphorism”), or tantra ("system"), with the term "tantra" utilized more frequently for Shakta agamas, than for Shaiva or Vaishnava agamas.
