Praṇayagati (प्रणयगति) refers to a “mood of loving devotion”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly: “[...] Then having taken the sacrificial vessel and established a mood of loving devotion (kṛta-praṇayagati), (the god said).—I am intent on worshipping you. O divine one, (I who am) respected and called ‘Supreme’ in the Kula rite should worship you. Having worshipped the entire Wheel, endowed with supreme bliss, (I am) seated in the middle of it. O goddess whose nature is divine bliss, your nature possesses (divine) qualities similar to my own. [...]”.
