Yonikuṇḍa is also mentioned in the Kakṣipuṭatantra verse 14.2.—“A purified man should recite the mantra one hundred thousand times at the bottom of a vaṭa (Banyan)-tree. Afterwards, he offers bandhūka-flowers, honey, clarified butter, and milk every ten japas into the yoṇikuṇḍa (yoni-shaped pit). Then, the goddess Vicitrā is satisfied and gives the Sādhaka (practitioner) whatever he wants”.
