In Hinduism

Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Vivartin (विवर्तिन्) (Cf. Vivartinī) refers to “one who transforms”, according to the Jayadrathayāmala 3.16.14-15.—Accordingly, “The arising of the supreme energy takes place in the Kula which is consciousness and the supreme abode. She is Bhāsā who is the fourfold transformation of Speech (vāc-vivartinī) and illumines everything. She is eternal (nityā), innate, subtle and unfolds the eight Kulas (of the Mothers)”.

Vivarti (विवर्ति) refers to the “generation” (of the universe), according to the 10th-century Ḍākārṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Accordingly, “[The universe] is dissolved [into emptiness] at the outset, [and the universe containing the maṇḍala] is generated (vivarti) [from emptiness] at the end; [it] indicates [this]: the Emanation [Body] (viz., the maṇḍala) manifests. The Dharma, the Enjoyment, and the other [Bodies are also realized]; therefore, all [of the Bodies] are aggregated together in this [secret] [...]”.
