Pañcaśṛṅgāṭa (पञ्चशृङ्गाट) refers to “five triangles”, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “(Her sport) is the play of the Great Yoga. (Her) sphere (is all the universe) from Śiva to the earth, (she is the) goddess who abides pervading the circles of the sun and stars. She is located in the upper face of the triangle in the fore part of the slanting line. (She is) in a coiled form above that (triangle) and is sustained by the power of Passion. O fairfaced one, she sits there, on the five triangles [i.e., pañcaśṛṅgāṭa]. When moving upwards she is said to be the goddess Aparā as long as she move along when uttered forth. She is said to be Aparā when she arises as Light and Resonance and dissolves away into the End of Sound”.
