Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Anvayājñā (अन्वयाज्ञा) refers to the “command of the tradition”.—[...] The practice and experience of Gesture in this, and similar forms, is so central to the teachings of the Kubjikā Tantras that it is identified with the Command of the Tradition (anvayājñā) that represents the entire content of the transmission. Accordingly, the goddess’s Kramamaṇḍala, the Saṃvartāmaṇḍala, is also commonly called Mudrāmaṇḍala and occasionally Mudrāpīṭha. Thus Mudrā is Saṃvartā, that is, the goddess herself who is the energy of the fire that consumes the worlds at the end of an aeon (kalpa) and burns in the centre of the maṇḍala.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
