Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramGarbhamaṇḍala (गर्भमण्डल) refers to the “circle of the womb”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “Oṃkāra is in the place of the Point (in the centre). The (seat) called Jāla is to the right of it. The (seat) called Pūrṇa is in the north and Kāmākhya in front of it. The one called Candra is above that. Trisrota is in the Circle of the Womb [i.e., garbhamaṇḍala]. The group of six sacred seats has emerged (in this way) supported by the Great Form (of the Goddess) (mahāmūrti)”.
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.
