Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

ī (अमादेवी) refers to the Goddess of the New Moon , according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—[...] This is the Triangle called the City of the Moon, which is the Full Moon. The goddess of the New Moon (ī), who destroys the polarities of the breath and with it the opposites (貹ṣāpṣa), is in the centre of it. Thus, the opposites balanced out, the formless energy of the goddess—the Energy of the Void (󲹰첹)—pours out along the central channel between them and deploys herself as the three energies of will, knowledge and action, and so as the ‘crooked goddess� (ī) assumes the form of the Triangle and so generates the Krama in its threefold form corresponding to the transmissions (krama) of the goddess’s three lineages.
