Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsŚrīmukhāmbujā (श्रीमुखाम्बुजा) refers to “she who has a beautiful lotus face” and is used to describe Śakti, according to the 13th-century Matsyendrasaṃhitā: a Kubjikā-Tripurā oriented Tantric Yoga text of the Ṣaḍanvayaśāmbhava tradition from South India.—Accordingly, “[Visualisation of Śakti]:—[...] The tilaka-mark on her forehead is made with musk thickened with camphor. She has lotus-eyes. She is adorned with rings, armlets, anklets, necklaces etc. Her beautiful lotus face (śrīmukhāmbujā) resembles the spotless moon. Her mouth is filled with betel. Her breasts are like golden jars. [...]”.
