Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramPradīpta (प्रदीप्त) or Pradīptābhā refers to “illumination”, 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, “[...] She has eighteen eyes and great arms, above and below. She is illumined by great jewels [i.e., mahāratna-pradīpta-ābhā] and her beautiful light is like heated gold. The mantra on her head is divided into twenty-seven divisions and twenty-seven depositions (nyāsa). The goddess of the gods, she is the mistress of the hosts (of the god’s attendants). She is comfortably seated on a lion throne and shines beautifully, dark blue and red. [...]”.

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
