Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramBāhyanyāsa (बाह्यन्यास) refers to the “external deposition”, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “I will (now) tell (you) about the external deposition [i.e., bāhyanyāsa], as it is, in due order. (The adept) should wander carefree once he has recollected the teacher's feet after having deposited the Ages and the sacred seats in the four directions of Earth and the fifth (sacred seat) called the ‘Outcaste’ (antyaja i.e. Mātaṇga the ‘Sweeper’) (above) on the upper path”.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) 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.
