Śivasakalapura (शिवसकलपुर) refers to the “abode of Śiva’s energy”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “[...] The Seat of Yoga, which is the Heart of the Goddess (AIṂ), (is formed) by (their) conjunction. Pure, it consists of the three and a half measures (of Speech). In the middle is the seat of OṂ, which is that of the divine syllable of the Mothers, ḌĀ (Ḍākinī), RĀ (Rākinī), LĀ (Lākinī), KĀ (Kākinī), SĀ (Sākinī), HĀ (Hākinī) and YĀ (Yākinī). (The seed-syllable of) Māyā (HRĪṂ), called Jālandhara, is the manifest energy of the Age of Strife and the descent (into the world) of the Seat of Knowledge. That mantra (ŚRĪṂ) which is in Pūrṇagiri is in the abode of Śiva’s energy [i.e., śivasakalapura] and is the treasure of mantras that has been filled (with it)”.
