Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramŚrīkulanāyikā (श्रीकुलनायिका) refers to the “mistress of the Śrīkula”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly: “[...] O Kujā, in the bliss of playful dalliance, a seed is emitted from us. Energized by (our) radiant power, it abides in the supreme firmament, illumining the surface of the sky. It is held in the Sky by the Wind born from the energy of my will. O Kujā, there will be a great Siddha within it born from an aspect of me. He will possess all my qualities, O mistress of the Śrīkula (śrīkulanāyikā). [...]”.
