Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramMerumārga (मेरुमार्ग) refers to the “path of Meru”, 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, “The goddess (Kubjikā, as the Vidyā) of thirty-two (syllables) who is Supreme Śiva’s energy, is Kaulinī (who possesses an) adamantine body. She has come down along the Path of Meru [i.e., merumārga] and is the five sacred seats (that is, the Five Praṇavas) at the beginning and end (of her Vidyā), and the best of the gods bow to her. In the division (she is) the New and the Full Moon (amā and pūrṇā) and is endowed with the parts and instruments (of the Vidyā). She is the sixteen(fold) Command and is well energized by the seven Peak (Syllables). (She is) Nityā, who quells the fear of phenomenal existence. O mistress! Tell (me) the Vidyā”.
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.
