[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Kumaritva in Shaktism glossary
: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

ܳٱ (कुमारित्�) refers to “virginity�, according to the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, as the God Bhairava said to the Goddess:—“O far-famed lady, your power will extend (in the land) called Kumārikā (i.e. India). As long you do not establish (your) authority in the land of Bhārata, there will be no union here with me. Thus you must observe the pledges (samaya) in every way, O wise one, otherwise my knowledge (that has been imparted) to you will be lost. You will have sons in (this) world (bhava) at the (right) time and they will be of my own nature. Then, assuming a (transcendental) state devoid of (phenomenal) qualities, abandon (your) virginity (ܳٱ)!�.
