Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramBhuvanāvalī (भुवनावली) refers to the show who is “the series of worlds” (i.e., the Goddess), according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, as Bhairava said to the Goddess:—“You observed a vow of silence there for a thousand years within the Triangle. Then you became subtle (there) within the Stone, that is, in the middle of Meru. And I am that (glory) called the venerable (triangular) Yoni (bhaga), she who is the series of worlds (bhuvanāvalī) within the Stone. Possessing seven sections (skandha), she is Bhairava’s deity. She moves in the middle of the Stone in an anticlockwise circle”.
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.
