Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramSvaraktā (स्वरक्ता) (lit., “perpetually wet”) is a name for the Goddess.—After describing the Triangle in the centre of the maṇḍala with the sacred seats in the three corners and the centre, the Ciñcinīmatasārasamuccaya continues: “[...] His Command in the form of the Point (bindubhūtā) is consciousness that bestows accomplishment and removes the fear of the fettered. (The Command is the goddess) Nityaklinnā (Perpetually Wet) who, free and desirous of herself (svaraktā), bestows the perpetual bliss, which is delighted by phenomenal existence. In the middle of that (triangle) is the Divine Liṅga, which is eternal bliss that generates supreme bliss, (its) form the Point and nature the Void (kharūpa). Churned by both, it is divided by the six parts. I salute the venerable (goddess) called Kubjikā whose beautiful body is aroused and who makes love there”.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
