The Tantric work "Rudrayamala", composed before 1052 CE, mentions 10 principal Shakti Peethas, which includes Varanasi as the fifth one. The "Kularnava Tantra" mentions 18 Pithas and mentions Varanasi as the sixth one. The "Ashadashapitha" (18 Peethas) ascribed to Shankaracharya (interpreted as Adi Shankara, however probably Shankara Agamacharya, Bengali author of the "Tara-rahasya-vrittika") enumerates 18 names along with their presiding deities or "Pitha-devi"s including Vishalakshi of Varanasi as the fifth Pitha. In the "Kubjika Tantra", Varanasi is third in 42 names. There are the two lists of Pithas in the "Jnanarnava", one with 8 names and the other with fifty names. The 8-name list does not mention Varanasi, but the other list names Varanasi in the second spot. Vishalakshi of Varanasi is mentioned as first of 108 Shakti Pithas in the list in the "Devi Bhagavata Purana". The face of Sati is described to have fallen here. This is the only instance where a body part is related to the Shakti Pitha in the text. The "Devi Gita" within the same text gives a long list of Pithas, where Vishalakshi is mentioned as dwelling in Avimukta (Varanasi). No body part is related to the Pitha in this list. In the non-scripture 16th century Bengali work "Chandimangal", Mukundaram lists nine Pithas in the "Daksha-yajna-bhanga" section. Varanasi is the last Peetha described to be the place where Sati's chest fell and the presiding goddess being Vishalakshi. Lakshmidhara also includes Vishalakshi in his 12th-century list.
