Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (shaktism)Vaṃśīdala (वंशीदल) refers to the “leaves of bamboo”, according to the King Vatsarāja’s Pūjāstuti called the Kāmasiddhistuti (also Vāmakeśvarīstuti), guiding one through the worship of the Goddess Nityā.—Accordingly, “[...] I take refuge with the goddesses of becoming minute and other great accomplishments for the sake of success. They hold wish-fulfilling jewels in both hands. They are moon-crested, three-eyed, and red in complexion. I revere Brahmāṇī and the other mother-goddesses. They carry a skull-bowl and red lily in their hands, their bodies are dark-colored like the leaves of bamboo (vaṃśīdala), and they are clad in lovely [red] clothes resembling bandhūka flowers. [...]”.
