Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramVikalpakṣaya (विकल्पक्षय) refers to the “destruction of thought constructs”, according to the commentary on the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] The Void of the Mind, that is, the void of thought constructs, should be placed in the Void of Consciousness. Then, the Void of Consciousness should be placed in the Supreme Void in such a way that a state of oneness (sāmarasya) prevails both internally and externally due to the destruction of thought constructs (vikalpakṣaya) and the realisation (upalakṣaṇa) of one's own nature”.
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.
