Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramŚūnyamaṇḍala (शून्यमण्डल) refers to the “circle of the void”, according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Referring to the inner space within the triangular Yoni, the Śrīmatottara says: “O fair lady, thus Śrīnātha sports in the Circle of the Void (śūnyamaṇḍala) and (so does) Kubjikā, the mother of Kula who is Kuṇḍalī by name. She is the will, the goddess who is Mind Beyond Mind (manonmanī) and her form is the Point (bindurūpā). That energy is called Sahajā (the Innate) and is (the state of) oneness with Śiva”.
