Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Pūjānāma (पूजानाम) refers to “one’s worship name”, as discussed in 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 Trivikrama]: “[...] O Lord of the gods, he again attained the state of a Skyfarer by means of (his) practice and (so), the name Gaganadeva is said to be (his) Pūjā name [=pūjānāma]. Again, his secret name is said to be Sūryānanda. O lord, spreading out the rays (of the sun), he imparts radiance to the rays. As he has pervaded the sky (with them) he is said to be Kiraṇānanda and his consort is well known and will be va *lā*. O god, they who are of the nature of both Śiva and Śakti, should be worshipped as a couple”.
