Karṇakubjā (कर्णकुब्जा) is another name for Kubjikā.—There are a surprising number of variant forms of the goddess’s name already in the Kubjikāmatatantra. The most basic one is Kubjikā which appears there twenty-one times. [...] We also find several direct derivates of this name that have been given to aspects or parts of the goddess. Kamalakubjikā is Kubjikā’s Heart, the first of her six limbs. As Karṇakubjā, the ‘Bent One of the Ear’, she resides in that part of the body. Guhyakubjikā and Vajrakubjī are two of her aspects. One of her forms is Nagnakubjikā—the Naked Kubjikā. The male equivalents are not as varied. We find Kubjīśa, Kubjeśvara and, rarely, Kubjīśāna.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
