Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)

Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions

Bhāvagamyā (भावगम्या) refers to “she who is to be approached by empathic imagination”, according to the 13th-century Matsyendrasaṃhitā: a Kubjikā-Tripurā oriented Tantric Yoga text of the Ṣaḍanvayaśāmbhava tradition from South India.—Accordingly, “[Devī spoke]:—O God, what kind of a woman is a Yoginī? Who is Māyā and who is Pāśavī? Tell me, O Bhairava, the pros and cons of having sex with them. [Bhairava spoke]:—[...] A woman who possesses all favourable characteristics [but] has neither a [Yoginī] Clan/noble family nor a [human/material] form/beauty, and who is to be approached by empathic imagination (bhāvagamyā), O Maheśānī, is called Māyā”.
