Khedita (खेदित) refers to “being tired (of the restrictions)” (of observing vows and discipline), according to the according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, “O venerable Kujeśī, you are the (goddess) who, tired (khedita) of the restrictions (of observing) vows and discipline on the path of meditation, (assumed the form of a) Liṅga and, by virtue of the assumption (of that state, was) well established, contemplating the passion of supreme bliss (freely) as she desired. After having aroused her own Wheel called the Self-supported, She abided (thus) in the bliss of passion having cast (her) tongue forth from the cavern of her own mouth into (her own genitals), the secret part, engaged in the practice (of savouring) the delight of sex”.
