Kubjeśvarī (कुब्जेश्वरी) refers to a name of the Goddess, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] The Island of the Moon [i.e., Candradvīpa] is devoid only of decay. That place is, by the power of the venerable Kubjeśvarī, the lord of the worlds. O mother of the host, it should be fashioned with thought (vikalpa). This is true, true! He who possesses that inner certainty that is brought about by (one's own) inner Self (adhyātman) and (comes) from the teacher’s mouth, goes to (that) imperishable Island where the goddess is Kubjeśvarī. [...]”.
