Word-by-Word Breakdown
Origin & History
Source: Yogini Tantra (Kamakhya stotra literature)
Author: Traditional — Tantric tradition
Period: Tantric era
Kamakhya is the great Goddess of the Kamarupa region, enshrined on Nilachala (the Blue Hill) where, according to the Shakti Peetha tradition, the yoni of Sati fell when her body was scattered across the land. The temple has no image of the deity but a natural cleft in the rock worshipped as the Yoni — the creative womb of the cosmos — kept moist by an underground spring. Hymns such as this Kamakhya Stotram, drawn from the Yogini Tantra and allied Tantric texts, praise her as Kameshwari, the sovereign of desire, and as the all-pervading Mother of the worlds.
