Meaning and elaboration
Meaning: She who grants liberation from the cycle of birth and death and delights in divine bliss.
Elaboration
Bhuktih comes from the Sanskrit root 'bhuj', a root that carries several related meanings: to enjoy, to partake of, to rule, and to liberate. For that reason, this name reveals Mahakali as both the one who experiences the whole of existence and the one who frees beings from bondage.
The Enjoyer of Creation (Bhoga) In one sense, Bhuktih presents Mahakali as the ultimate enjoyer (Bhoktrī) of the entire cosmic play (Līlā) of creation, sustenance, and dissolution. She is the consciousness that knows and relishes all phenomena, from the subtlest movements of existence to its grossest forms. Nothing stands outside her awareness. Every sensation, thought, and emotion arises within her and is, at the deepest level, an expression of her own being. Even sorrow and pain, from her transcendent standpoint, belong to the many flavors of her manifestation.
The Bestower of Liberation (Mukti) At the same time, Bhuktih also points to the bliss of liberation (Mukti) from the very cycle of enjoyment and suffering that defines conditioned existence. By realizing her innermost nature, the devotee goes beyond pleasure and pain, beyond egoic limitation, and beyond the endless round of birth and death (saṃsāra). Kali, as Bhuktih, grants that freedom by dissolving attachment and revealing the eternal, blissful nature of the Self.
The Unity of Enjoyment and Liberation The depth of this name lies in the way it unites the seemingly opposite ideas of enjoyment (Bhoga) and liberation (Mukti). For the realized soul, the two are no longer separate. The world may still be experienced, but it is experienced as divine play and without bondage. Liberation, then, is not apart from joy; it is the fullest enjoyment of one's true nature. Kali as Bhuktih embodies this non-dual truth. She is the one who tastes all experience, and by her grace leads the devotee beyond all limited tastes into the bliss of freedom.
