Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramAniṣkrānta (अनिष्क्रान्त) refers to “not having emerged” (into the realms of limitation), according to verse 2.4-6ab of the Ciñcinīmatasārasamuccaya.—Accordingly, “This tradition is Śiva’s vitality which has not emerged (aniṣkrānta) (into the realms of limitation). It is endowed with Śiva and Śakti and is the essence of the bliss of both that has expanded out through the lineage. O goddess, it is the root Kula tradition that has emerged as Kula and Kaula. Kaula is of six kinds and, accompanied by six seed-syllables, it is stable. It has emerged with six names and by its extension is the Western Tradition”.
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.
