1) Viluptā (विलुप्ता) refers to “concealed”, 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.—(His) eyes full of tears, Śambhu went behind (paścima) Meru and worshipped Śakti, the Mother, the Virgin who is the divine Liṅga. For a thousand years therein he contemplated (the goddess whose) form is Viṣṇu. The god stood in front of the door and worshipped the goddess. The goddess was concealed (viluptā) by (her) divine powers (daivata) as Śaṃkara stood at the door.

2) Vilupta (विलुप्त) means “stopped”, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] Abandoning the enveloping cover (kañcuka) of sin, O dear one, by praising the sacred seats he sees no misfortune even if he is yoked to terrible sins (or) has killed his mother, father or a cow or steals the sacrificial offerings of the Heroes or has fallen from the Rule due to (his) carelessness or even if he has stopped uttering the Mantras [i.e., mantroccāra-vilupta]”.

My mind had become helplessly deprived of will and, due to ecstatic love, all my limbs were trembling. My hairs stood erect and I lost control of my body as tears blocked my vision [i.e., aśru-vilupta-dṛṣṭi]. With great difficulty, I somehow caught hold of the Garuḍa pillar and stood there”.

How they affect the earth depends upon their color, position and shape. [...] Even Ṛṣis, reduced to mere skeletons by starvation, giving up their pious course of life, with fleshless infants in their arms. Deprived of their property by highway men [i.e., taskara-vilupta-vitta], with long sighs, closed eyes, emaciated bodies, and with their sight dimmed with the tears of sorrow will proceed with difficulty to other lands”.
