Published in: International Journal of Hindu Studies, vol. The passages are thus arranged sequentially to illustrate the historical flow of religious influence from the Nityā cult to that of Tripurasundarī, who is still actively worshiped today in the popular Śrīvidyā tradition. ![]() The latter three passages are from the Vāmakeśvarīmata, a Tantra of slightly later origin that expands the goddess’s retinue and links her to the famous diagram of nine interlocking triangles, called the Śrīcakra. The passage from the Ciñciṇīmatasārasamuccaya serves as a midpoint that elaborates on the nature and power of Kāmeśvarī. The frequent ellipses (.) in the first passage flag places where the text is damaged and unreadable. This important early Tantra has barely reached the present, for it survives in a single damaged palm-leaf manuscript from Nepal. The first two pieces are from the Nityākaula, a previously untranslated Tantra predating the eleventh century and the sole surviving representative of the Nityā cult, as described in the essay. They are all about vivid description, characteristics of the practitioner, and praise for the goddess’s power. These six short passages translated from the Sanskrit depart from the narrative format and instead present Tantric-guided visualizations and hymns of praise to the so-called goddess of desire, Kāmeśvarī. Its green forests and high mountains host some of the most biodiverse wilderness in India, with over 750 species of birds and hundreds of mammals, including snow leopards, red pandas, and gibbon apes. This area borders Tibet, Myanmar, and Bhutan and is home to numerous tribal communities speaking dozens of languages and hundreds of dialects. Of the six short passages, the third alone mentions a place called the “Garlanded” (Mālinī) Mountain and a ravine or cave named Kokila, which may refer to sites in the far northeast of India, in the state of Arunachal Pradesh, such as the ruined temple site called Malini- than in the Siang Hills. The Tantras selected here give few clues about geographical locations. This paper investigates the interplay between these two levels through a study of the correlation of Sarvāmnāya theology, ritual, and yogic practice to the variety of cultural productions in Nepal-including architecture, paintings, music, and public ritual-which function as signs of the king’s right to abide at the center of Nepāla-Maṇḍala. On a secondary and exoteric level, Devī functions as a sign of the politico-military power of Nepalese kings. Employed on a primary and esoteric level within this system, Devī, the goddess, signifies that singular consciousness-power (cit-śakti) that manifests creation through the flashing forth of her phonemic self (mātṛkātmaka) into a vibrant circle of power, śakti-cakra. Sarvāmnāya Śākta Tāntrikas utilize multiple forms of Devī-particularly Bhuvaneśvarī, Dakṣiṇakālī, Kubjikā, Ugra Tāra, Guhyakālī, and Tripurasundarī-to construct a dyadic semiotics of power. In this essay I explore how the relationship between king and Kumārī catalyzes from the political center a complex matrix of mystico-political power rooted in a Nepalese form of Kaula Śākta tantra called Sarvāmnāya. ![]() And if you would like to contribute, you can also share your amateur videos for the Eporner community to appreciate.Published in: Pacific World-Journal of the Institute of Buddhist Studies, 3.6 (2004): 257-291.
