°­¾±°ù²¹á¹‡o±è²¹³¾Äå (किरणोपमा) refers to “she who is like the rays (of the full moon)â€�, according to the á¹¢aá¹­sÄhasrasaṃhitÄ, an expansion of the KubjikÄmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the KubjikÄ cult.—Accordingly, “[...] Free of desire, she fulfils desires and, eternal, is like the rays (°ì¾±°ù²¹á¹‡o±è²¹³¾Äå) of the full moon. Her form is dynamic like a lightning flash. (She is) the primordial power who flames up from the mind. She is the power of that god who is formless, imperishable, eternal, ancient, and conjoined with the power KubjÄ«. She is conceived to be in the face of the venerable TūṣṇīśanÄtha. O goddess, this, the eternally active First Face (of lord Åšiva) has been explained to youâ€�.
