Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramYajñāvatīrṇa (यज्ञावतीर्ण) refers to “having descended into one’s sacrifice”, 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, “O divine bliss! Beautiful radiant energy! O immortal one! O consciousness of Bhairavī! Be victorious! Be victorious! O you who are the first (of all the goddesses) and divine! (You) who have descended into Dakṣa’s sacrifice (dakṣa-yajñāvatīrṇa) and was born in the family of the Himalaya. You, O Kulā, are called Kālikā to whom the gods bow. O Mother! Protect me always, (you who are) the mother of the three worlds, the skyfaring goddess called Carcikā”.
