1) Śṛṅṭa (शृङ्गा�) or Śṛṅṭapura refers to a “triangle�, according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, as Bhairava explains: “I will tell (you) in brief about the Command [i.e., ñ] that gives bliss. (First the Command) is contemplated in the form of a lightning flash situated in the middle of the Triangle (śṛṅṭa-ܰ-ⲹ) (in the End of the Twelve). Then (the teacher) should cause it to be experienced in the other body (i.e. that of the disciple) entering by the Cavity of Brahmā. [...]�.

2) Śṛṅgāta (शृङ्गा�) refers to the “water chestnut� which symbolizes the Goddess manifesting progressively.—The Sanskrit texts have generally paid much more attention to the goddess as Speech in deference to the primacy always attributed to it over the written word. Even so, we do find rare references to the goddess as the Line—Rekhā. The Line in its three forms—straight, slanted (پⲹ) and “raised up� (ܲԲԲ) that constitute the sides of the Triangle, are the three energies and goddesses in which Kubjikā manifests as the Triangle and in which see rests as the Spiral. These are synthesized as aspects of the goddess manifesting progressively to assume the form of a Triangle set in three dimensions commonly represented by a water chestnut (śṛṅٲ).
