Dharmadharmin (धर्मधर्मिन्) (Cf. Dharmadharmiṇī) refers to “being endowed with (divine) attributes”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, “[...] Abiding thus for a moment, he applied (his) mind to his own foundation. (Thus) he aroused (his) supreme power whose form was coiled. Fire came forth by the left hand path in the Sky, which is both supreme (transcendent) and inferior (immanent). (Thus) the Supreme Lord, who is the supreme (reality), emanated the supreme goddess. O beloved, that goddess was Mahāmāyā, endowed with his (own divine) attributes (dharmadharmiṇī). Endowed with the attributes of the Supreme Lord, she was delighted with supreme bliss. [...]”.
