Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramĀditattva (आदितत्त्व) refers to the “first principle” according to the Ambāmatasaṃhitā.—Accordingly, “[...] Kaumārī, in the form of the Brahman, practiced spiritual discipline (anuṣṭhāna) in the past by means of the fire of austerity (tāpanāgni) and came (into the world as) Bhagamālinī. [...] Her Command is terrific (bhīmā) like (her Vidyā) that begins with BHA and ends with C(E). That bliss is the Neuter (absolute). It is neither female nor is (its) form (ākāra) male. Its body is the first principle (āditattva), the Command in the form of Bhairava. Everything (sakala) is pervaded there and the universe that is the divine, radiant pulse of (the most) intense Command is (also) pervaded by that fierce power of austerity. [...]”.
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.
