Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraGokṣīrasadṛśa (गोक्षीरसदृश) refers to “resembling cow’s milk”, according to the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 18.63-68, while describing the iconography of Mṛtyujit and the consort Amṛtalakṣmī]—“After [the Mantrin] has meditated on the beautiful form as indicated earlier, he should worship Mṛtyujit and Śrī Devī [Amṛtalakṣmī], seated on his lap in the middle [of the somamaṇḍala. She is] as clear as pure crystal, she possesses the same luster as mountain snow or a drop of jasmine. [She] resembles the swelling moon [and] shines forth like cow’s milk (gokṣīrasadṛśa—gokṣīrasadṛśaprabhāṃ). [...]”.
