Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (shaktism)

Amararāja (अमरराज) refers to the “king of gods”, according to the King Vatsarāja’s Pūjāstuti called the Kāmasiddhistuti (also Vāmakeśvarīstuti), guiding one through the worship of the Goddess Nityā.—Accordingly, “[...] O mother! Even the kings of gods (amararāja-gaṇa) bow to the feet of those men who have acquired a drop of the grace (prasāda-lava) of seeing you. Kings of all the rich lands extending to the four oceans [bow to them] all the more, illuminating their footrests with the studded jewels of their elevated crowns”.

Amararāja (अमरराज) refers to the “lord of the gods”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.9 (“Śiva’s campaign”).—Accordingly, after Śiva became the lord of the Paśus: “[...] Even in hundreds of years it is impossible to describe adequately the form of the great soul which he assumed then. Śiva the lord of Pārvatī and everyone, the bestower of happiness to all, went ahead to destroy the three cities. Then all the gods, resplendent like the sun, under the lord of the gods (amararāja) and others went on elephants, horses, lions, bulls and chariots to kill Tripuras, leaders of the Asuras. [...]”.
