³Õ¾±á¹£á¹‡³Ü²µ°ù²¹²Ô³Ù³ó¾± (विषà¥à¤£à¥à¤—à¥à¤°à¤¨à¥à¤¥à¤�) refers to the “Knot of Viṣṇuâ€� and represents one of the “sixteen knotsâ€� (granthi), according to the á¹¢aá¹­sÄhasrasaṃhitÄ, an expansion of the KubjikÄmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the KubjikÄ cult.—Accordingly, â€�(1) The Knot called Ananta, which is HAṂSA, should be placed (on the body). 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.
