Kṛṣṇayāmalatantra (कृष्णयामलतन्त्र) or simply Kṛṣṇayāmala is the name of a Tantra.—One of the names of the goddess Lalitā, that is, Tripurasundarī, in the Thousand Names of Lalitā—the Lalitāsahasranāmastotra—of the Brahmāṇḍapurāṇa, is “Command” (ājñā). [...] The Kṛṣṇayāmala, a late mediaeval Tantra, presents Kṛṣṇa as Tripurasundarī’s essential nature and, as the Kṛṣṇayāmala says: “she is under the sway of Kṛṣṇa’s command”.
