Kubjīśakti (कुब्जीशक्ति) refers to the “power Kubjī”, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] Free of desire, she fulfils desires and, eternal, is like the rays of the full moon. Her form is dynamic like a lightning flash. (She is) the primordial power who flames up from the mind. She is the power of that god who is formless, imperishable, eternal, ancient, and conjoined with the power Kubjī (kubjīśakti). She is conceived to be in the face of the venerable Tūṣṇīśanātha. O goddess, this, the eternally active First Face (of lord Śiva) has been explained to you”.
