Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramDyotayat (द्योतयत्) refers to “illumining” (the surface of the sky), according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly: “[...] O Kujā, in the bliss of playful dalliance, a seed is emitted from us. Energized by (our) radiant power, it abides in the supreme firmament, illumining (dyotayat) the surface of the sky [ca dyotayantaṃ nabhastalam]. It is held in the Sky by the Wind born from the energy of my will. O Kujā, there will be a great Siddha within it born from an aspect of me. He will possess all my qualities, O mistress of the Śrīkula. [...]”.
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.
