Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Mudrāśakti (मुद्राशक्ति) refers to the “energy of gesture”, 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, “Kula has arisen from Akula and that (Kula) is praised as Bhairava. Therefore the goddess is eight-fold and so also Kula is the eight groups of eight (Yoginīs and Bhairavas). She is called the Energy of Gesture (mudrāśakti) and, present in all things, she is (herself) the tradition. One should know that the Family is the Śrīmata and that the Clan is Bhairava. The extent is the Five Jewels, while the Transmission is said to be the Śrīmata. My modality is at the extremity of the End of the Twelve, beyond that is the Void of Kuṇḍalinī”.
