Sṛṣṭivīrya (सृष्टिवीर्य) (Cf. Saṃhara) refers to the “vitality of emission” (of the supreme level of speech—parā vāc), according to Kṣemarāja in his commentaries on the Netratantra and the Svacchandabhairavatantra, which is well known to the Kubjikā Tantras.—[...] The Point symbolizes the union of transcendental Śiva and His energy, which corresponds to the sphere of immanence. It is energy gathered together in a highly concentrated state that contains in potential the entire sphere of manifestation. This the Kubjikā Tantras identify with the seed of the goddess, rather than the god. The Half Moon represents the point at which this potential is just about to actualize itself and emerges to manifest externally. As such it is said to be the ‘vitality of emission’ (sṛṣṭivīrya) that manifests objectivity and, nectar-like, falls onto the Point that contains what is to be made manifest. It is the first sign of the awakening of the Point and its rupture. The Half Moon goes on to develop into the Full Moon of the Point once filled with the ‘nectar’ of the bliss, which accompanies emanation. In this way the energy of the Half Moon emits in the descending phase and withdraws in the ascending one.
