Ghūrmitā (घूर्मिता) [=ghūrmi?] refers to “being made to pulsate”, according to the Ciñcinīmatasārasamuccaya verse 7.220cd-222.—Accordingly, “One's own form, devoid of form, is the form between form and non-form. (That) undifferentiated reality is active everywhere and is free of Being and Non-being. Kālī, the Supreme Goddess who devours the Skeleton (of Time) is manifest there. Once drunk from the vessel of the sprout of the Skeleton born of the nectar of the Void, she is made to pulsate (ghūrmitā) and vomit. Thus, the universe comes into being”.
