Kubjipāda (कुब्जिपाद) refers to the “feet of (the goddess) Kubjī”, 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, “The goddess of the god was satisfied and went to Śiva’s world in the south, in the eastern mouth. She, the virgin (kumārī) Caṇḍavegā, very powerful and bestowing boons, is there in the seat (called) Pūrṇa singing the Sāmaveda composed by the most excellent of sages. I salute the master (svāmin), Viśvanātha (the lord of the universe) whose head is placed at the feet of (the goddess) Kubjī [i.e., kubjipāda] and all this in the Dvāpara Age”.
