Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram1) Aṃśaja (अंशज) is a technical term used to denote the god’s partial incarnations as Siddhas who impart Kula doctrine.
2) Aṃśaja (अंशज) refers to “that which is born from an apsect”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly: “[...] O Kujā, in the bliss of playful dalliance, a seed is emitted from us. Energized by (our) radiant power, it abides in the supreme firmament, illumining the surface of the sky. It is held in the Sky by the Wind born from the energy of my will. O Kujā, there will be a great Siddha within it born from an aspect (aṃśaja) of me [mamāṃśajaḥ]. He will possess all my qualities, O mistress of the Śrīkula. [...]”.
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.
