Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramJñānanirmukta (ज्ञाननिर्मुक्त) refers to “(being) devoid of the knowledge of the planes (of existence)”, 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, [while describing the Eight Kulas]—“[...] He who knows the omnipresent Kula is a teacher in the Kula (kulācārya). He who says that Kulakaula is devoid of the knowledge of the planes (bhūmikā-jñānanirmukta) (of existence) does not have liberation and he wanders in the world of transmigration full of the wombs (within which he is reborn)”.
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.
