Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramVimalatanu (विमलतनु) refers to “one whose body is pure” (due to the observance of vows), according to 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 how Vajrabodhi was converted by Siddhanātha]: “[...] The one who is called Vajrabodhi, his body pure by (the observance of) vows [vrata-vimalatanu] is the Siddha, an aspect of Bhairava who, because he protects the Mother’s Rule is respected by (all) Yogis. I bow to (this) Siddhanātha, also called Tārānātha, who has brought bliss to all (the world) and who has consecrated twenty-six disciples, whose impurities were destroyed in an instant on the path of the Siddhas”.
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.
