Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramViṣṇvīśvara (विष्ण्वीश्वर) refers to the “venerable lord”, 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]: “[...] The venerable lord (viṣṇvīśvara) is the body and Kuṇḍalinī is the energy. She is the savour and she is sixfold (as the Krama) on the plane of the vital Self. Vakrā, born of the Śrīkula is encompassed by the three lineages and is given as the Command consisting of three and a half (measures of energy) and, ninefold as the lords of the cities and the rest (within the body). Within the group of four (sacred seats), she is Kubjinī.[...]”.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
