[«previous next»] — Shaktiyuta in Shaktism glossary

Śaktiyuta (शक्तियुत) refers to “one who is conjoined with (the primordial) power”, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] It is Akula, which is Tūṣṇiśanātha, Kujeśa who is imperishable and eternal. (He), the lord, is conjoined with the primordial power (ādiśaktiyuta) and, supreme, he is eternal and without defect. The supreme power has originated from that like a spark from a fire. Inconceivable and not an object of knowledge, her light is like that of ten million lightning flashes”.
