Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramDvibindu (द्विबिन्दु) [=Bindudvaya?] refers to “two drops”, according to the Kulakaulinīmata verse 4.71-75.—Accordingly, “(Kuṇḍalinī) bestows (marital) bliss and so is said to be Nityā (the Eternal Woman). She brings about growth (and development) and is the eternal (nityā) mother of the universe who instills certainty. She is the eternal Transmental. Devoid of the universe of thought constructs, she resides in the life breath of all. She is the supreme energy, called Kuṇḍalā and is the seventeenth energy (of the Moon). O Supreme Goddess! Once cast the Two Drops (bindudvaya) in the belly, one who is sustained by her, O Gaurī, obtains supreme marital bliss. [...]”.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
