Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramKalārūḍhā (कलारूढा) refers to “one who is mounted on energy”, according to the Kālīkulakramasadbhāva or simply Kramasadbhāva (verse 3.49-81), which is an important source of the Kālīkrama.—Accordingly, “Always greedy to eat the Body of Time at the end of the a eon, she is Kālī who, by the upper path, is present in the form (rūpa) at the end of the End of the Twelve. [...] Mounted on the energy [i.e., kalārūḍhā] at the extremity of emission (visarga), she is in the middle of the sixteen vowels. She is Kālī, the seventeenth energy, the action that brings all things to an end”.
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.
