Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

: Kamakoti Mandali: The Yoginis of Narasimha Vyuha

Vaṣa� (वषट्) is the name of a Mātṛkā-Śakti created by Ѳܻ in order to control the plague of demons created by Ի󲹰ܰ.—Accordingly, Andhaka-Asura tried to kidnap Umā (Devī Pārvatī), and was fiercely attacked by Ѳܻ who shot arrows at him from his 辱첹. when the arrows pierced the body of Ի󲹰ܰ, drops of blood fell to earth and from those drops, thousands of Andhakas arose. To control this plague of demons, Ѳܻ created ṛk-Śپ [viz., Vaṣaṭ] and ordered them to drink the blood of the demons and drain them dry.

: Kamakoti Mandali: Nrisimha matrika-mandala

Vaṣa� (वषट्) refers to one of the various ṛk-Śپ created by Rudra in order to destroy the clones that spawned from Ի󲹰첹’s body.—Accordingly, [...] Ի󲹰ܰ attempted to abduct Girājanandinī (Pārvatī) and thus ensued a fierce battle between Ի󲹰ܰ and the great Rudra, the Lord of Umā. Like raktabīja, every drop of blood that fell from the body of Andhaka created another Asura like him and in no time, the entire world was filled with Andhakas. To destroy the growing number of Andhakas, Rudra created innumerable ṛk-Śپ [viz., Vaṣaṭ]. These Śaktis of immense power at once began to drink every drop of blood that flowed from the body of Andhaka, but they could still not effectively contain the emergence of more and more demons.
