Akuleśvara (अकुलेश्वर) is the consort of Goddess Mahāntārikā, according to Tantric texts such as the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—There are several variant forms of the name of the goddess Mahāntārikā—the Great Saviouress. The most common one in the Kubjikāmatatantra is Mahāntārī, which appears as many as ten times. [...] Mahāntārikā is the consort of Akuleśvara. Called Nirodhin—the One Who Blocks the Way—he is the Lord of the twenty-first Wheel of Form and she is his energy—Nirodhinī. They reside above the sphere of Being, that is, phenomenal existence—on the plane of Non-being, which in the passage below is called the Great Knot.
