Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Gadita (गदित) refers to “that which has been explained”, 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, “Such is the Śāmbhava piercing, beyond thought, one should know it for oneself. It has been explained [i.e., gadita] through the venerable Process of Absorption (alaṃgrāsakrama). By recollecting the Buddhist and other Siddhas, the piercing (vedha) which is devoid of thought constructs and which is directly perceptible (pratyakṣa) arises in order (to realise) the reality beyond the senses”.
