Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramRaśmisamūha (रश्मिसमूह) refers to a “mass of rays”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, “[...] You have a third form which is present (in the Transmission of) the Youth and ends with (that of) the Aged. [...] (This form of the goddess) breaks through the Wheels by means of (her) great mass of rays [i.e., mahā-raśmisamūha] that are to the side, above and below. Issuing forth from the Door of Brahmā, she has become one in the supreme, pure and unsupported Void. O Kubjeśī, you should be contemplated in this way residing in the Transmission of the Youth”.
