Divyāmṛta (दिव्यामृत) refers to “divine nectar” (i.e., divine energy of nectar), according to the second recension of the Yogakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “Then Viṣṇu, the supreme Yoni, was sad. (He / she thought): ‘I have fallen from (my) austerities (and so) Bhairava has disappeared into the earth’. Then when that goddess, who is the divine energy of nectar [i.e., divyāmṛta—divyāmṛtakalā] that rains down specks (of nectar) onto Himavat, meditated there, a drop of this nectar, which is the supreme energy, fell that very moment from the sky onto the earth”.
