Amoghavāṇī (अमोघवाणी) refers to an “unfailing voice”, according to the commentary on the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “[...] Then (she) [i.e., the Goddess] again assumed a body, (this time) in the house of mount Himavat. [...] Then Kālī was given to the Supreme Lord on mount Kailāśa in the house of the God of the gods. There a great instruction arose, that is, an unfailing voice (amoghavāṇī) which (said): ‘there is something that is part of the tradition within the Kadamba Cave (namely), Śāmbhava knowledge’.”.
