Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

1) Lolā (लोला) refers to one of the maids (cellakā) associated with Jālandhara, one of the sacred seats (pīṭha), according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Nine of the twelve female servants (three in each of the first four seats), are low-caste women who we find, in other contexts, embody the Mothers (mātṛkā). The maids (cellakā) [i.e., Lolā] are Yoginīs and the servants their male counterparts. These replace the spiritual ‘sons’ and ‘daughters’ the goddess generates and the guardians she appoints in the sacred seats listed in the ‘Kubjikāmatatantra’.

2) Lola (लोल) refers to the “rolling (of the eyes)”, according to the Lalitāsahasranāma.—Lalitā’s thousand names are eulogized in the Lalitāsahasranāma, describing the goddess’s spiritual beauty on the analogy of physical, sensuous beauty. [...] She embodies ultimate reality conceived as supreme bliss—ānanda. This bliss is embodied in her. It is the ‘passion that makes her eyes roll’ (lola-akṣī-kāmarūpiṇī) (454). She is “the form of desire in women”. This is not the Advaitin’s ānanda, which is just a covert counter-correlate of Samsaric suffering (duḥkha), it is positive bliss generated by the union of opposites. She embodies the great play of intercourse between herself and her partner (mahārati) (218). Similarly, she is the Great Enjoyment (mahābhogā) (219). [...]

This edition is said to be derived of the Rudrayāmalatantra and consists of 6000 verses in 90 chapters (paṭalas) together with the Saralā-Hindīvyākhyopetam (i.e., the Rudrayamalam Uttaratantram with Sarala Hindi translation).—Lolā is mentioned in śloka 1.10.140.—The chapter notes that one is granted the rewards obtained by reciting the text even without the performance of pūjā (worship), japa, snāna (bathing) and puraścaryā

Lolā (लोला) refers to one of the five Śrutis of the Pañcama note of the Octave in Indian Music (often described in literature as consisting of twenty-two śrutis).—Kohala brings out different theories on the number of śrutis. He says that some believe in twenty-two, śrutis, some in sixty-six and others believe in infinity. Bharata and many subsequent authors including Śārṅgadeva etc. spoke of twenty-two śrutis.—According to the Saṅgītārṇavacandrikā (Cf. the Saṅgītanārāyaṇa, Vol. I, V. 1.49-1.55, pp.24-26), the Pañcama note has the following śrutis: mālinī, capalā, lolā, sarvaratnā, prabhāvatī .
