Sarvajñānamaya (सर्वज्ञानमय) refers to “that (book) which is full of all knowledge” and is used to describe Goddess Tripurabhairavī, according to the Kulakaulinīmata 5.88-99.—Accordingly, “The goddess (Tripurabhairavī) is red like vermillion and the Bandhūka flower. [...] Endowed with all the ornaments, she sits on the lotus of the Void. Her mind blissful with wine, she is the Mother of great joy. Smiling gently she is the goddess who arouses the Triple World. She has four arms and three eyes. Possessing great power, she is supreme Śivā. O fair lady, an excellent and divine book full of all [i.e., sarvajñānamaya] is in her left hand. [...]”.
