The Andhaka demons spawned out of every drop of blood spilled from the original 础苍诲丑补办腻蝉耻谤补 (Andhaka-demon). According to the Matsya-pur腻峁嘺 179.35, 鈥淢ost terrible they (e.g., 痴腻测补惫测腻) all drank the blood of those Andhakas and become exceedingly satiated.鈥�

: Shodhganga: Iconographical representations of 艢iva痴腻测补惫测补 (啶掂ぞ啶さ啷嵿く) or 痴腻测补惫测腻gama refers to one of 耻辫腻驳补尘补蝉 (supplementary scriptures) of the 叠颈尘产腻驳补尘补 which is one of the twenty-eight 厂颈诲诲丑腻苍迟腻驳补尘补: a classification of the 艢aiva division of 艢补颈惫腻驳补尘补蝉. The 艢补颈惫腻驳补尘补蝉 represent the wisdom that has come down from lord 艢iva, received by P腻rvat墨 and accepted by Vi峁ａ箛u. The purpose of revealing 耻辫腻驳补尘补蝉 (e.g., 痴腻测补惫测补 膧gama) is to explain more elaborately than that of 尘奴濒腻驳补尘补蝉 (e.g., Bimba-腻gama) and to include any new idea if not dealt in 尘奴濒腻驳补尘补蝉.
Shaiva (啶多啶�, 艣aiva) or Shaivism (艣aivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Kamakoti Mandali: The Yoginis of Narasimha Vyuha痴腻测补惫测腻 (啶掂ぞ啶さ啷嵿く啶�) is the name of a M腻t峁沰腻-艢akti created by 惭补丑腻谤耻诲谤补 in order to control the plague of demons created by 础苍诲丑补办腻蝉耻谤补.鈥擜ccordingly, Andhaka-Asura tried to kidnap Um腻 (Dev墨 P腻rvat墨), and was fiercely attacked by 惭补丑腻谤耻诲谤补 who shot arrows at him from his 尘补丑腻辫颈苍腻办补. when the arrows pierced the body of 础苍诲丑补办腻蝉耻谤补, drops of blood fell to earth and from those drops, thousands of Andhakas arose. To control this plague of demons, 惭补丑腻谤耻诲谤补 created 惭腻迟峁沰腻-艢补办迟颈蝉 [viz., 痴腻测补惫测腻] and ordered them to drink the blood of the demons and drain them dry.
: Kamakoti Mandali: Nrisimha matrika-mandala痴腻测补惫测腻 (啶掂ぞ啶さ啷嵿く啶�) refers to one of the various 惭腻迟峁沰腻-艢补办迟颈蝉 created by Rudra in order to destroy the clones that spawned from 础苍诲丑补办补鈥檚 body.鈥擜ccordingly, [...] 础苍诲丑补办腻蝉耻谤补 attempted to abduct Gir腻janandin墨 (P腻rvat墨) and thus ensued a fierce battle between 础苍诲丑补办腻蝉耻谤补 and the great Rudra, the Lord of Um腻. Like raktab墨ja, 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 惭腻迟峁沰腻-艢补办迟颈蝉 [viz., 痴腻测补惫测腻]. These 艢aktis 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.
Shakta (啶多ぞ啶曕啶�, 艣腻kta) or Shaktism (艣腻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.
