Śrīnāthāṅkita (श्रीनाथाङ्कित) refers to “(being) marked with Śrīnātha”, 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, “[...] (She is) the Vidyā which is Bhairava’s form, the energy of Kālī in the Age of Strife. She is Kaulinī who come forth from the divine in Hara's teaching and, on the Krama path, she should be praised as Umā and Carcikā. She is the Skyfarer marked with Śrīnātha (śrīnāthāṅkita-khecarī), to whom the gods bow. She is the mistress of the maṇḍala, Carcikā at the end of the couple, the supreme energy who is nine-fold up to the sixteenth energy”.
