O soše
Kubjika sits on Navatman’s bent knee in this Nepalese sculpture of the 1300s, now in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Her consort is a form of Shiva and personifies the Navatman mantra. Reciting such potent formulas offers tantric practitioners access to the goddess’s favour and power. Kubjika’s name refers to crookedness, and she is often represented as an old woman with a bent back. Here the figure instead takes the form of a young woman whose body bends like a contortionist’s.
Slovy muzea
The tantric Hindu Goddess Kubjika sits on the bent knee of her male consort, Navatman, a form of Shiva. Tantric practitioners use the recitation of mantras, which are powerful formulas or spells, in order to achieve the favor and power of the goddess. In this sculpture, the male figure personifies the Navatman Mantra by means of which devotees can access the goddess Kubjika. Kubjika’s name translates to “the crooked one,” and she is often shown as an elderly woman with a curved back. Here, however, she is depicted as a youthful contortionist.
