Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramDhūmrāsya (धूम्रास्य) is a synonym for Dhūmravaktra, which refers to “one who has a grey face”, according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, [while describing the visualized form of Navātman Bhairava]: “[...] Navātman’s mind is blissful with his own energy and he is delighted by the bliss of (spiritual) wine. [...] The first face is white. A red face is above it. Above that is a yellow face. (The face) on the right is dark blue. Above it is a grey face (dhūmravaktra) and above that a blue face. (The face) on the left is yellow and red. (The face) above it is brown and red. (The face) after that (above it) is white and red. The colour of mercury, it is very brilliant. The brown face is fierce with jagged teeth and (its) eyes are red. [...]”.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
