Ubhayātmaka (उभयात्मक) refers to “those who have the dual-nature” (e.g., of both Śiva and Śakti), and is used to describe Trivikrama, as discussed in the Yogakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, [while discussing the Hagiography of Siddha Trivikrama]: “[...] O Lord of the gods, he again attained the state of a Skyfarer by means of (his) practice and (so), the name Gaganadeva is said to be (his) Pūjā name. Again, his secret name is said to be Sūryānanda. O lord, spreading out the rays (of the sun), he imparts radiance to the rays. As he has pervaded the sky (with them) he is said to be Kiraṇānanda and his consort is well known and will be va *lā*. O god, they who are of the nature of both Śiva and Śakti (śivaśakti-ubhayātmaka), should be worshipped as a couple”.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
