Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (shaktism)Sarveśvarī (सर्वेश्वरी) refers to one of eight eight Goddesses of speech, as mentioned in the Kāmasiddhi-stuti (also Vāmakeśvarī-stuti) and the Vāmakeśvaratantra (also known as Nityāṣoḍaśikārṇava).—[...] The next four verses, 17–20 [of the Kāmasiddhistuti], respectively praise the set of eight eight Goddesses of speech. The names of these eight [e.g., Sarveśvarī] can be retrieved from the mantroddhāra section of the Vāmakeśvaratantra (cf. 1.77–80).
