Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsKuraṅgajaya (कुरङ्गजय) refers to “musk” (perfume), according to the 13th-century Matsyendrasaṃhitā: a Kubjikā-Tripurā oriented Tantric Yoga text of the Ṣaḍanvayaśāmbhava tradition from South India.—Accordingly, “[Visualisation of Parameśvara]:—[...] His heart is agitated with sexual desire. His lotus face displays a faint smile. This is how the Yogin should visualise his body for a long time, as transformed into Śiva. All his limbs are perfumed with sandal, aloe, camphor, musk (kuraṅgajaya) and saffron. He has a beautiful face. He is surrounded by millions of gem islands, in a chamber on a fine bed”.
