Manmathāviṣṭa (मन्मथाविष्ट) refers to “being overcome with passion”, according to the according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, as the God says to the Goddess: “[...] Once my incarnation has burnt up Manmatha (the god of love), he will abandon her and go forth. Then, overcome with passion (manmathāviṣṭa) and troubled by that separation, she (will) reside within the Triple Peaked mountain (immersed) in the aesthetic experience of the bliss of passion. O great goddess, she will connect (her) tongue to the Place of Power. O fair lady, (that) venerable lady, born from my limbs, even though a virgin, will bear in her womb the one who will cause the lineage of the Śrīkula to prosper. [...]”.
