Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationԻܰū貹 (बिन्दुरू�) is the name of a region situated beneath the 112 Śaktilokas, as defined in the Śivapurāṇa 1.17. Accordingly, “[...] the Śaktilokas numbering hundred and twelve are beneath that point. The Իܰū貹 is beneath that point and Nādarūpa is beyond. The Karmaloka is beneath that point and Jñānaloka is beyond that. [...]�.

The Purana (पुरा�, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram1) Իܰū (बिन्दुरूपा) refers to “one whose form is the point�, according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Referring to the inner space within the triangular Yoni, the Śrīmatottara says: “O fair lady, thus Śrīnātha sports in the Circle of the Void (śūԲⲹṇḍ) and (so does) Kubjikā, the mother of Kula who is Kuṇḍalī by name. She is the will, the goddess who is Mind Beyond Mind (ԴDzԳī) and her form is the Point (Իܰū). That energy is called Sahajā (the Innate) and is (the state of) oneness with Śiva�.
2) Իܰū (बिन्दुरूपा) refers to “that which has the form of a Point�, 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, “[...] (6) The Wheel of the Command is between the eyebrows. It is a fire in the form of a Point [i.e., Իܰū貹]. In the middle of it is the seed of power (śپīᲹ), red like vermilion. [...] (Perfect) contemplation () is with (these) sixteen aspects and is (attained) within the form of the sixfold deposition (ṣoḍhԲ). He who knows this is (a veritable) Lord of Yogis, the others (who do not) are (just) quoting from books. Once attained the plane that is Void and Non-void, the yogi is freed from bondage�.

Shakta (शाक्�, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) 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.
