Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramKoṭicakra (कोटिचक्र) refers to “millions of wheels”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “[...] I salute the conscious nature present on all the planes (of existence), the venerable goddess Kulālī. Mounted on millions of wheels [i.e., koṭicakra-adhirūḍhā], (her) plane (of being) is well prepared and (her) movement is attracted by the foundation (of all that exists) [i.e., ādhāra-ākṛṣṭa-cārā]. Supreme, she has elevated every soul and removes (all that is) born of illusion. With the mass of the rays (of her divine light), full of the essence of nectar, she nourishes creation. [...] ”.
