In Hinduism

Source: Shodhganga: Mantra-sādhana: Chapter One of the KakṣapuṭatantraKakṣapuṭa (कक्षपुट).—The strange term “kakṣapuṭa” is the compound of “kakṣa,” which means hiding-place, the armpit, a womanʼsgirdle, an enclosure, etc., and “putṭa”, which means a fold, a hollow space, a cup made of a folded or doubled leaf, etc. The combination of these words means the armpit, or a cloth passed between the legs to cover the private parts.
