The worship of the *Vámácharis* is derived from a portion of the *Tantras*: it resolves itself into various subjects, apparently into different sects, of which that of the *Kaula*, or *Kulína*, is declared to be pre-eminent.* The object of the worship is, by the reverence of DEVI or SAKTI, who is one with SIVA, to obtain supernatural powers in this life, and to be identified after death with SIVA and SAKTI.
