Śrībimba (श्रीबिम्ब) possibly refers to one of the seven divisions of Kāmarūpa/Koṅkaṇa, according to the Ambāmatasaṃhitā.—We were told that [Kāmarūpa/Koṅkaṇa] consists of seven districts. One of these is possibly Śrībimba which we may tentatively identify with Candramaṇḍala—a region in ancient Koṅkaṇa, the capital of which was Candrapura. There, the First Siddha to propagate the Kubjikā Tantras is said to have miraculously felled a tamarind tree by the yogic power he was given by the goddess.
