Bhūtāṃśa (भूतांश) refers to the “physical (corporeal) aspect”, according to the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] Even if the Command (i.e., ājñā) has been given along with (its) power (sāmarthya). (The teacher) should enter (samāviśet) (into the disciple) by means of the physical (corporeal) aspect (bhūtāṃśa). (Otherwise) the proud (disciple) is consumed with mental and physical infirmities (ūrmi) and due to (his) ego is destroyed”.
