Aikyabhūtā (ऐक्यभूता) refers to a “condition of oneness”, according to Tantric texts such as the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, as the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā commentary explains the name of Kubjikā or Kubjinī (lit. “the bent over one”): “[...] Or else, (one can say that) she is crooked in all circumstances (sarvatra) and (as such) is the seed-syllable. Or else (one can say that) she is in a condition of oneness (aikyabhūtā) or, she pervades everywhere (sarvagati) in (her) contracted state (saṃkocavṛtti). She who possesses (all these states and forms of being) is Kubjikā”.
