Viśvī (विश्वी) is another name for the Goddess (Khecarī), according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] (The energy of the Yoni is) below, above and in the middle. She emerges out from within emission and is located in motion and within the one whose form is immobile. Always moving, she resides in the immobile. She moves as motion and so she is Khecarī (the Skyfarer who is the goddess) Parā. (Again), she is Vāmā, Jyeṣṭhā, and Raudrī. As Viśvī she is (the energy) in the middle of them. The god in the centre of her is the Supreme Lord Sādākhya. O fair lady, the multiform emanation (of the universe) emerges from his will. She who is without letter (the letter A) and is also (all) the letters emanates, as the Mother (of the alphabet), (the entire universe)”.
