Kadambagolaka (कदम्बगोलक) refers to a “Kadamba bud”, according to the Tantrasadbhāva, an important Trika Tantra and a major authority for Kashmiri Trika Śaivites.—Accordingly, “O goddess Umā! one should think of it in the heart. It has the form of a Kadamba bud [i.e., kadambagolaka-ākāra] and is like a fine spray of snow. Once seen that supreme radiant energy (tejas), the knowledge of time arises”.
