Saṃrāviṇī (संराविणी) is another name for Rāviṇī, according to the Jayadrathayāmala.—The Nityā form of Kālī is Nityaklinnā. She is the young Kālikā who causes women to ‘melt’ with the arousal of passion. [...] The Tantra promises that by reflecting on her, the adept becomes the equal of Kāmadeva and all women, human and divine, are aroused by seeing him. But although she is always arousing, she is also very fierce. Karaṅkiṇī, a form of Rāviṇī (also called Saṃrāviṇī), like Śuṣkā, combines in herself the erotic and the terrific. She is unbearably arousing, and yet consumes voraciously.
