Source: Wisdom Library: Kubjikāmata-tantraHāṭakā (हाटका, “golden”):—One of the nine Dūtī presided over by one of the nine bhaivaravas named Yogeśa (emanation of Ananta, who is the central presiding deity of Dūtīcakra), according to the Kubjikāmata-tantra and the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā.
Source: Wisdom Library: ŚaivismHāṭaka (हाटक) refers to the name of Śiva sitting upon a golden throne (pīṭha) and presiding over the seven pātālas (subterranean paradise), according to Parākhyatantra 5.55. His throne is set with jewels and shines like the rays of glistening gems.
According to Parākhyatantra, “on that throne of excellent gold sits the Śiva (hara) Hāṭaka; he is kindly (susaumya), generous (varada), peaceful (śānta), adorned with all ornaments. Hāṭaka is venerated by countless armies. Since this pātāla, rich in lovely women, shines forcefully (haṭhāt), therefore, plainly, it is called Hāṭaka, a space for meetings for sacrifices, full of ponds and arka shrubs, dense with ...pleasure.”
The Parākhyatantra is an old Śaiva-siddhānta tantra dating from before the 10th century.

Accordingly, “O goddess, Svacchanda is in the middle, within the abode of the triangle. Very powerful, he has five faces with three times five flaming eyes. [...] He sits on a great lotus and is adorned with a belt on his hips. He is adorned with small bells and a garland of gems. There are anklets on his feet and they are well adorned with necklaces of pearls. He sits on Ananta as a seat and is like heated gold [i.e., tapta-hāṭaka-sannibha]. On Ananta’s seat are seventy billion mantras. He is beautiful, divine, (white) like the stars, snow and the moon.]. [...]”.
Source: Shodhganga: Iconographical representations of ŚivaHāṭaka (हाटक) or Hāṭakāgama refers to one of upāgamas (supplementary scriptures) of the Vīrāgama which is one of the twenty-eight Siddhāntāgama: a classification of the Śaiva division of Śaivāgamas. The Śaivāgamas represent the wisdom that has come down from lord Śiva, received by Pārvatī and accepted by Viṣṇu. The purpose of revealing upāgamas (e.g., Hāṭaka Āgama) is to explain more elaborately than that of mūlāgamas (e.g., Vīra-āgama) and to include any new idea if not dealt in mūlāgamas.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
