Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Prabodhitā (प्रबोधिता) means “awakened”, according to the Jayadrathayāmala: one of the earliest and most extensive Tantric sources of the Kālīkrama system.—Accordingly, as Bhairava teaches the Goddess about his inner state: “Established in the supreme state, I was penetrated by powerful meditation. Then (when this was happening) my supreme energy was awakened [i.e., prabodhitā] from the Root Wheel (kandacakra). Her nature the Great Consciousness and delighting in bliss endowed with consciousness, she entered into the reality in the centre within the foundation, which is the Void of the Pulsing Union (saṃghaṭṭa). There in the centre, O daughter of the mountains, is the supreme light between the two, being and non-being. [...]”.

Prabodhita (प्रबोधित) refers to “being instructed (by Viṣṇu)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.44 (“Menā regains consciousness”).—Accordingly, after Viṣṇu spoke to Menā: “O sage, when instructed (prabodhita) by Viṣṇu, Menakā’s mind was somewhat softened. But she did not give up her obduracy. She did not consent to the proposal of giving her daughter to Śiva. Menā was deluded by Śiva’s magic”.
