Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramAntavibhava (अन्तविभव) refers to the “inner manifestation”, according to the Ciñcinīmatasārasamuccaya verse 7.4-9.—Accordingly, “[...] Kaula is the sprout, Kula, the root and it grows in Śiva’s Circle. The nectar of bliss arises (from it), which is the nourishment of the juice of one’s own nature. It has three extensive branches and its shoots are the Vedas and their limbs. It is strewn with the flowers of the senses and their objects are the most excellent nectar. One experiences supreme repose there devoid of pleasure and pain. Its divine fruit is the joy of consciousness, the most excellent inner manifestation [i.e., antavibhava]”.
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.
