Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Labdhasaṃjña (लब्धसंज्ञ) refers to “regaining consciousness”, according to the second recension of the Yogakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “[...] Having split apart the Meruliṅga and come forth, she moves mountains. She came forth within the heart, her radiant energy extremely intense and very hard to bear. Bhairava was pierced then by an intense descent of the energy (of grace). Penetrated by (that) divine energy, the god rolled around on the ground. In this way, when he regained consciousness [i.e., labdhasaṃjña], Bhairava felt embarrassed. Similarly, when the goddess with a crooked face regained consciousness, she too was embarrassed”.
