Lambin (लम्बिन्) (Cf. Lambinī) refers to “that hangs down”, according to the Kulakaulinīmata 5.88-99.—Accordingly, “The goddess (Tripurabhairavī) is red like vermillion and the Bandhūka flower. [...] A rosary, brilliant like a hundred suns [i.e., śatasūrya-samaprabha], is in the right hand. She makes a fear dispelling gesture with the left and a boon-bestowing one with the right. The garland around her neck hangs down to her feet [i.e., āpāda-lambinī]. Its form divine and enveloped in blazing flames brilliant like the sun, it looks like red coral. [...]”.
