ṃkī (हुंकारी) refers to one of the nine attendants of Goddess Tvaritā, according to the Agnipurāṇa, the ղԳٰᲹ verse 14.15-16 and the Kulakaulinīmata verse 3.82-88.—Accordingly, “[...] ṃkī (She who makes the sound Hu�) has a club and is black. 8) Kṣemakārī (Forgiving One) is fierce at first (but then becomes gracious). She is naked, has three eyes and three nets (貹ñᲹ). She rises up holding the earth and is intent (dzٲԳī) on devouring the universe. 9) Pheṭkārī holds a bow. She is Kaulikā and is placed in the middle. [...]�.

Note: These nine attendants (e.g., ṃkī) embody the syllables of Tvaritā’s Vidyā that are the initials of their names. The same nine are listed in the ղԳٰᲹ as the attendants of Tvaritā. They are worshipped on the eight petals of a lotus as the energies of the letters of Tvaritā’s mantra (Գٰṇaśپ).
