1) Bhuktidā (भुक्तिदा) refers to “one who bestows worldly enjoyment”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra.—Accordingly, “(The goddess) is the emanation (sṛṣti) of all the elements (bhūta). She creates the universe. Residing in the middle of the wheel (of energies) or participating in the (clockwise) rotation of the sun, she bestows worldly enjoyment [i.e., bhuktidā]. Established in the lunar nature, she bestows liberation and is called the New Moon. [...]”

2) Bhuktida (भुक्तिद) refers to “that which gives liberation”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra.—Accordingly, “The Great Mata is above all Tantric practice. It is the Śāmbhava tradition that has come down through the series of teachers. It has come from the invisible (unmanifest) form and gives success in the Age of Strife. O god, it gives worldly benefit and liberation (bhuktida) and is sealed in the First Seat. It is the venerable Ciñciṇīkula present in the venerable Kadamba Cave, established (there) by the God of the gods in accord with the Rule”.
