Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramMālayitvā (मालयित्वा) means “having threaded together”, 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, “[...] (That energy) is called the Skyfarer because she moves all living being (by this Path). In the supreme state she should be known to be one and she is also said to be threefold. Assuming the form of letters, she is will, knowledge and action. Divided into fifty (letters), she is said to be one. Complete in all her limbs and parts, she abides in the form of (the alphabet) beginning with Na and ending with Pha, having threaded together (mālayitvā) the universe. Thus she is called Mālinī. O Supreme Goddess, the 70 billion mantras that are said to be immeasurable, (each) in their own Tantra, are all sealed (with the Gesture). Thus she is called Gesture and bestows immediate realisation”.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
