Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramŪṣm (ऊष्म) is the name of the seat (īṻ [=ṻ?]) associated with the sacred seat of Jālandhara (īٳ), 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, � The sacred seat Jāla is the Unmanifest. It is well placed in the southern quarter. [...] The sacred seat (i.e. ṻ?) Ūṣm, very fierce, is pure in heaven and on the earth. The gesture is Vikārālyā, which removes the fear of phenomenal existence. Conjoined with the (secret) language and the Choma, this is the unstruck sound of Jālāvvā. Well known as the Vidyā, the three worlds bow to it. Accomplished, divine, with six faces, giving supreme bliss, the guardian of the field is called ‘Jaya�. I praise the sacred seat Jāla, revered by the gods, which is divided into sixteen divisions�.
