Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramSavikāra (सविकार) refers to “one whose mind had wavered”, according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] Kāma also reached (the same place) at that moment and, seeing that the lord was blissful (with love), playfully shoot the arrow named delusion. The Three-eyed One noticing that his mind had wavered (savikāra) he, the God of the gods, embarrassed and angry, looked around in (every) direction. (Then), burnt by the great fire that destroys the triple world, Kāma fell instantly, struck down by (Śiva’s) angry look. [...]”.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
