Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramKramadevatā (क्रमदेवता) refers to the “deity of the transmission”, 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, “Now I will tell (you) another visualized form that is praised by the gods; by just recollecting it peoples’ fetters are severed. [...] O sinless one, (she is) the Transmental, who by the force of the mind, abides having pervaded the universe. Unmanifest she has manifestly arisen and is obtained by word of mouth (transmitted by the masters). She is Siddhā, the great Khañjī, who is beyond the Void and beyond the Non-Void. She is the deity of the transmission (kramadevatā)”.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
