Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Mathya (मथ्य) refers to “that which is churned” [?], according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] The one who has entered within the Circle of Principles by means of the union (yoga) of ‘churning’ and ‘that which is churned’ (mathya-manthāna-yoga) neither hears, sees nor exhales at any time. He should lead (the breath) back again by that very path into the middle of the heart. He should expand it out by means of the upper channel. [...]”.
