Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions

Strībhakṣin (स्त्रीभक्षिन्) [=Strībhakṣya?] refers to the “(sexual) enjoyment of women”, according to the Tantrasadbhāva (verse 6.218): an important Trika Tantra and a major authority for Kashmiri Trika Śaivites.—Accordingly, “Doing (kriyā) is what gives people results; knowledge does not produce results, just as a man knowledgable in the sexual enjoyment of women (strībhakṣya-bhogajña—strībhakṣyabhogajño) is not happy without doing it (kriyā). But doing should be understood as twofold: it is held to be outer and inner. Inner action (kriyā) is through yogic meditation, while outer action is through worship, ascetic observances, etc. [...]”.
