Paramānandalakṣaṇa (परमानन्दलक्षण) refers to “one whose sign is supreme bliss”, according to the Yogakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, [while discussing the Hagiography of Siddha Pippalīnātha]: “[...] (Vibhīṣaṇa then) prostrated (before him) with devotion and, having done so, the king addressed Siddhanātha (who stood) before him and with fine words of praise, lauded (his) lotus feet: ‘You are Brahmā. You are Viṣṇu. You are Rudra and you are indeed Śiva. O Bhairava, by your grace, the lord of the gods, whose sign is supreme bliss (paramānandalakṣaṇa), has arisen in the abode of my consciousness!’ [...]”.
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.
