Bhagarūpiṇī (भगरूपिणी) refers to “she whose form is the Yoni”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—[...] In terms of the imagery of the Goddess’s myth, we are told that the goddess who emerges out of the Liṅga has the Triangle as her face (she is triṣkoṇānanā). Indeed, she herself is the goddess Triangle (trikoṇā) whose form is the Yoni (bhagarūpiṇī). In other words, using the geometric analogy of the maṇḍala, the Point is the Goddess’s formless, unmanifest aspect and the Triangle her manifest form.
