Vidviṣṭa (विद्विष्ट) refers to “one who is averse (to the Goddess)”, according to the second recension of 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, “The purified soul who, pure, recites this [i.e., Śrīkaṇṭha’s hymn in praise of the Goddess] in front of the Kramaliṅga is free from all sins and attains Rudra’s world. It was uttered by Śrīkaṇṭha and, secret [i.e., guhya], it should not be told to (just) anybody. It should be given to a true devotee, (and) never to one who is averse (to the goddess) [i.e., vidviṣṭa]. [...]”.
