Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramCakravapus (चक्रवपुस्) refers to “one whose body is the wheel (of consciousness)”, according to the Mahānayaprakāśa by Arṇasiṃha.—Accordingly, “[...] (Again, She is called Maṅgalā because she is) the intense inebriation brought about by the flux of the juice of the aesthetic delight [i.e., rasaugha] penetrated by the Supreme (experienced) by moving in the Supreme Space, which is free of the differentiated manifestation of (the phases of) emanation and the rest. She is ever the Inexplicable (anākhyā state) of the Supreme Principle whose body is the Wheel (of consciousness) [i.e., cakravapus]. Thus she is called Maṅgalā (Auspicious) here (in the world), and her nature is free of obscuration”.
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.
