Matangi

Mātangi is the name of one among the ten Mahāvidya. Specifically Mātangi is among the three Siddhividyas namely Kamalātmika, Mātangi and Bagalambe. Siddhividya refers to those who give the knowledge necessary to accomplish the native’s task in this world. They are said to be the quickest to attain results from and protect the native in the three lokas of Svarga (heaven/stars), Bhuva (sky/galaxy) and Bhu (earth) lokas respectively, i.e. the physically manifest lokas.
The remaining among the ten Mahāvidyas are said to be Vidyā whereas Kali and Tara are specifically Mahāvidyas, and most mantras and verses have been devoted to these two in the agamas and nigamas. This thus forms a hierarchy where Kamalātmika is the first to be worshiped by the sadhaka and Kali is the last.
