Kuṇḍalākṛti (कुण्डलाकृति) refers to “one whose form is coiled”, 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, “[...] Devoid of all the principles of existence (tattva), she is incomparable and without form. Abiding there, in the centre, one can see the goddess (Kuṇḍalinī) whose form is coiled (kuṇḍalākṛti). Kubjikā is that supreme goddess (parā devī), the first (ādibhūtā) (of all things) in the universe. [...] Full of the Three Principles, she has issued forth in countless modalities”.
