Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramUddyotakāraka (उद्द्योतकारक) refers to “one who imparts radiance to the rays” (of the sun), 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 (kiraṇa-uddyotakāraka). 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, should be worshipped as a couple”.
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.
