Analaśikhā (अनलशिखा) refers to “tongues of fire” (being radiated from the awakened consciousness of the Vidyā), according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly: “[...] Having come to know that there is a very fierce Śakti nearby who is intent on (the observance of) vows and discipline, he went (to her) and having worshipped her by the grace of Kula and Akula, he attained great accomplishment. (This accomplishment shone with the) light of millions of tongues of fire (analaśikhā) that radiated from the awakened consciousness of the Vidyā (imparted by the goddess’s) Command obtained by means of the many types and forms of consecration preceded by (the piercing of) the Wheels”.
