Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramPañcāśadbhuvana (पञ्चाशद्भुवन) refers to the “fifty worlds”, according to the Śāmbhavakramasūtra verse 4.271cd-276ab.— Accordingly, “Śāmbhava is common to all things (and to all the Kaula traditions sarvasāmānya). [...] Endowed with the sixteen Śāmbhava and adorned with sixteen energies, the Śāmbhava lord resides there. He is the final dawning (of reality) from the west. The Śāmbhava plane is above the fifty worlds (pañcāśadbhuvana). The Western (tradition) is the Śāmbhava abode, that is the east, the west and the middle one. Everything is the sequence in the form of mantras and is free of (both) duality and non-duality”.
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.
