Jīmūtasaṃkāśa (जीमूतसंकाश) refers to “that which resembles a (blue) lightning flash”, according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, [while describing the visualized form of Navātman Bhairava]: “[...] Navātman’s mind is blissful with his own energy and he is delighted by the bliss of (spiritual) wine. [...] One should think that the weapon, which is the terrible Fire of Time, is licking up and destroying (all things with its flames). (Powerful) like a blue lightning flash (jīmūtasaṃkāśa), it is energized by the fire of (universal) destruction. [...]”.
