Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Kheja (खेज) refers to “(born in the) Void”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, [verse 9.44-48ab]: “(Those) people who reside in the Śiva principle in this way are in three lines. O mistress of the gods, they will be initiated into the Kulakrama and, when that has taken place, a certain master Siddha who is manifest (to all) will be born of mine and your union. O fair lady, born in the Void (kheja) and not of mortal womb, he will be the lord of the Skyfarers. O great goddess, he will be called Siddhanātha”.

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.
