[«previous next»] — Kalasamkarshinimata in Shaktism glossary

Kālasaṃkarṣiṇīmata (कालसंकर्षिणीमत) is the name of a Mata (“teaching”) as well as a Tantra, according to the Jayadrathayāmala: one of the earliest and most extensive sources of the emergent Kālīkrama.—Chapters 11-14 (of the third ṣaṭka) are dedicated to the Vidyā and related practices of Matacakreśvarī one of the Mata goddesses of the Jayadrathayāmala. ‘Matas’, i.e. ‘teachings’, are dedicated to goddesses in the Jayadrathayāmala. [...] The Jayadrathayāmala enjoins that such ‘matas’ should only be given to those who are dedicated to the Devī Tantras i.e. the Goddess. Some of these ‘matas’ became extensive enough to have entire Tantras dedicated to them. One is the Kālasaṃkarṣiṇīmata, mentioned above, a teaching—mata—which is also a part of the Jayadrathayāmala.
