In Hinduism

Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Mūrtimat (मूर्तिमत्) refers to “having form”, according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “ Akula is (the reality) that should be understood and, O lady of good vows, Kaula comes from Kula. (Although) formless (amūrti), one should meditate on it as having form (mūrtimat) (because) its pure cognitive state cannot be perceived. Akula is the supreme principle. Śakti, which is five-fold, is Kula. While, (one could say) simply that its permutated (phenomenal) state is (the reality called) Kaula of those who maintain the tradition”.

Mūrtimat (मूर्तिमत्) refers to “one’s body”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.51 (“The resuscitation of Kāma”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “On hearing their words, lord Śiva was delighted. The lord, the ocean of mercy, glanced compassionately. Thanks to the nectarine glance of the Trident-bearing lord, Kāma came out of the ashes, a comely wonder-inspiring body [mūrtimat—mūrtimān] with splendid dress and features. [...]”.
