: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram1) 峁峁ａ弓丑墨艣补 (啶粪し啷嵿啷�啶�) or 峁峁ａ弓丑墨艣补n膩tha is the name of a Siddha.鈥擜ccording to the Sa峁僾art膩ma峁囜笉alas奴tra, there are only three original Siddhas and three corresponding seats, namely, O岣嶀笉墨艣an膩tha of O岣嶀笉iy膩na, 峁峁ａ弓丑墨艣补n膩tha of P奴r峁嘺giri and Mitre艣an膩tha of K膩mar奴pa. The 鈥榤issing鈥� seat is, as we would expect, J膩landhara. These three Siddhas correspond to the three Transmissions (krama) handed down through the lineages (oli) founded by them. These are those of the Aged, Youth and the Child, respectively.
2) 峁峁ａ弓丑墨艣补 (啶粪し啷嵿啷�啶�) is the name of the Siddha associated with the Pra峁嘺va of 艢r墨 (艢R莫峁�) and the sacred seat called P奴r峁嘺giri, according to the Manth膩nabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjik膩.鈥擳he 辫谤补峁嘺惫补蝉 are loaded with many more correspondences. In chapter eight of the Kum膩rik膩kha峁囜笉a they are one of five groups of five. [...] As usual, movement through these stations engendered by the utterance of the 辫谤补峁嘺惫补蝉 brings about states of possession (腻惫别艣补) and their accompanying attainments along with the full range of yogic powers.
: Shodhganga: Saudarya Lahari of Sri Sankara A Study峁峁ａ弓丑墨艣补 (啶粪し啷嵿啷�啶�) refers to one of the 56 rays of the M奴l膩dh膩ra-Cakra which (together with the 52 rays of the Svadhi峁ａ弓h膩na) are associated with the fiery plane called Rudragranthi, according to 艢a峁卥ar膩c膩rya鈥檚 Saudaryalahar墨.鈥擜ccordingly, the Goddess is visualised (by S膩dhaka) as dwelling above the six 膧dh膩racakras ruling over the 360 rays which emanate in them [e.g., 峁峁ａ弓丑墨艣补]. These 360 rays represent 360 syllables (i.e., a consummation of the 艣补产诲补辫谤补辫补帽肠补 or 50 alphabets) as well as the principles of nature. For the 360 syllables, together with 丑补峁� and 蝉补岣�, Ny膩sa should be performed for 艢r墨cakrap奴j膩.
Shakta (啶多ぞ啶曕啶�, 艣膩kta) or Shaktism (艣膩ktism) 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.
