Vaḍavānalayoni (वडवानलयोनि) refers to the “womb of the Vaḍava Fire”, according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, [while describing the visualized form of Navātman Bhairava]: “[...] Navātman’s mind is blissful with his own energy and he is delighted by the bliss of (spiritual) wine. [...] (He has) a garland made of sacred gems that hangs down (from his neck) to the soles of (his) feet. In the midst of the Vaḍava Fire, he is delighted by the bliss of his own energy. Within the womb of the Vaḍava Fire (vaḍavānalayoni) in the Transmental within the Circle of Brahmā, he is successful by means of the Yoga of the Vaḍava (Fire) which is Stillness”.
