Mūlaśākhā (मूलशाखा) refers to the “root and branches”, according to the Ciñcinīmatasārasamuccaya verse 7.4-9.—Accordingly, “There in the middle (of the Island of the Moon) is the place called the Triangle that is beloved of the Yoginīs. Ciñcinīnātha, who bestows the fruit of all desires, has arisen (there). He is in the middle of the Circle of the Triangle within the heart of its womb. The root and branches (of the Tamarind) are very extensive [i.e., mūlaśākhā-suvistīrṇa] and it bears the fruit of the Divine Current. Kaula is the sprout, Kula, the root and it grows in Śiva's Circle. [...]”.
