Mantras originate [samutpannā] from that and so her nature is desire. And as her form is (coiled like an) earring (kuṇḍalī), she is said to be Kubjinī (‘bent over’). She is the goddess with two arms and one face, or with many arms and faces. She should be thought of at all times as being in accord with the form of passion. Established in movement, she is in the midst of movement. The mistress of motion, her body is movement. Motion is said to be the wind. She is said to be its mistress”.

2) Samutpanna (समुत्पन्न) refers to the “arising” (of the universe), according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “Akula is said to be the principle that, self-existent, does not require Kula in order to exist. It is Śiva, the supreme cause. Kula is that from which the universe arises (samutpannayato viśvaṃ samutpannaṃ). It is that in which it is established and where it is dissolved away. That Kula is said to be Kaula”.
