Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Abhinihata (अभिनिहत) means “placed at”, 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, “The goddess of the god was satisfied and went to Śiva’s world in the south, in the eastern mouth. She, the virgin (kumārī) Caṇḍavegā, very powerful and bestowing boons, is there in the seat (called) Pūrṇa singing the Sāmaveda composed by the most excellent of sages. I salute the master (svāmin), Viśvanātha (the lord of the universe) whose head is placed at [i.e., abhinihata-śira] the feet of (the goddess) Kubjī and all this in the Dvāpara Age”.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
