Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Atitīvrā (अतितीव्रा) refers to a “very intense command”, according to the Ādisūtra section of the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, [verse 13.35-40]: “[...] The tradition that was lost in a previous Age will be recovered by Vṛkṣanātha who will re-establish it just as it was before in the fifth sacred seat, that is, Candrapura. (The Command can be) very intense (atitīvrā), intense (tīvrā), weak (mandā), and most weak (mandatarā). O mother of Kula, being such, after dissolving away, he will attain the Command. [...]”.

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.
