: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram1) 痴峁沰峁尘补峁囜笉补濒补 (啶掂啶曕啶粪ぎ啶｀啶∴げ) refers to the 鈥湶巡贯箛岣嵅贡舨� of the Tree鈥�.鈥擜 tree itself can be a 尘补峁囜笉补濒补 and, in places, the texts do imply Kubjik膩鈥檚 identity with a local goddess who lived in a tree or a stone underneath it. Accordingly, her 尘补峁囜笉补濒补 is the 惭补峁囜笉补濒补 of the Tree (v峁沰峁尘补峁囜笉补濒补). The original 尘补峁囜笉补濒补 is the shade of the tree of which the tree and the stone beneath it are the centre. There, in the centre, Kubjik膩 is 艢il膩dev墨鈥攖he Goddess Stone. Interiorized, the Tree 惭补峁囜笉补濒补 acquires the encompassing enclosures that are built when the deity of a tree or a stone grow in importance. Thus the development of the Tree 惭补峁囜笉补濒补 [i.e., v峁沰峁尘补峁囜笉补濒补] mirrors the development of the Hindu temple and the local, rural goddess of the Tree becomes the Great Goddess of the temple and the city who is worshipped in her 尘补峁囜笉补濒补.
2) 痴峁沰峁尘补峁囜笉补濒补 (啶掂啶曕啶粪ぎ啶｀啶∴げ) refers to the Krama尘补峁囜笉补濒补 (the tree of Brahm膩).鈥擵峁沰峁n膩tha is the 鈥楲ord of the Tree鈥� because he is associated with the Krama尘补峁囜笉补濒补, which is the 惭补峁囜笉补濒补 of the Tree (v峁沰峁尘补峁囜笉补濒补) and the Tree of Brahm膩. More specifically, his name suggests his association with the seed-syllable Nav膩tman which is called the Tree because of the resemblance its written form has to an inverted tree. Outwardly, he is associated with the tamarind tree in which Kubjik膩, the Goddess of the Tamarind (颁颈帽肠腻诲别惫墨 or Ci帽ci峁嚹�) resides.
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.
