Īrṣā (ईर्षा, “Envy”):—Seventh of the eight Mātṛs born from the body of Vahni, according to the

Kubjikāmata-tantra. These eight sub-manifestations (mātṛ), including Īrṣā, symbolize mental

dispositions or emotions and are considered as obstructing the attainment of liberating
knowledge. They are presided over by the Bhairava Unmatta. Vahni is the fourth of the Eight
Mahāmātṛs, residing within the Mātṛcakra (third of the five cakras) and represents fire.
