Budhanutā (बुधनुता) refers to “she who is impelled by the awakened one”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, [while illustrating the composition of the Goddess’s body]: “[...] O god, (I) have become the Command of those teachers and reside in their mouth. One should not mention (their) caste if men are worthy of worship by the lord’s Command. She resides within the sequence which is such and is the excellent worshipper of the divine Transmission impelled by the god. In the Śrīsamaya she is the teachers’ protector and, impelled by the awakened one (budhanutā), bestows liberation in the Śrīśāsana. [...]”.
