Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramBhīṣaṇīsṛṣṭi (भीषणीसृष्टि) refers to a “terrifying creation”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly: “[...] O mistress of Kula, this Kulakrama was brought down (to earth) by these two through the ages as I have told (you before). He is a certain one who, by virtue of (his) association with the (primal) cause, is sanctified with the name ‘Mitranātha’. He impells the unfailing Command and (so) should be worshipped in the venerable lineage of Siddhas. Oḍunātha and the rest who bestow the supreme accomplishment are his disciples. He is born from my terrifying creation (bhīṣaṇīsṛṣṭi) with the name Ṣaṣṭhācārya. [...]”.
