It is at the middle toe of the sixteen parts (of the body).The Knot of Time is below the ankle. [...] (12) The Knot of the Living Being is in the place of the heart, while (13) the one called Viṣṇu [i.e., ±¹¾±á¹£á¹‡³Ü²µ°ù²¹²Ô³Ù³ó¾±] is in the throat. [...]â€�.
The sixteen Knots [i.e., ±¹¾±á¹£á¹‡³Ü²µ°ù²¹²Ô³Ù³ó¾±] are parts of the goddess’s body. Accordingly, they are projected into the adept’s body to transform it into the Triple Fort, that is, the triangular body of the goddess replete with the energies of the sacred seats. She is both with form, consisting of the letters and mantras, and without form as the Transmental (³¾²¹²Ô´Ç²Ô³¾²¹²ÔÄ«) energy of the god.

Shakta (शाकà¥à¤�, Å›Äkta) or Shaktism (Å›Äktism) 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.
