Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramMathanapada (मथनपद) refers to the “plane where the energies of the body are churned”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, “[...] After the Drop [i.e., bindu/vipruṣa?], you enter into (the Wheels of) Purity (viśuddhi), the Heart, the City of Gems (maṇipura) and the Self-supported (svādhiṣṭhāna), which is said to be born of the support of the Root (centre) (kandanālambaja). (Thus,) residing on the plane (where the energies of the body are) churned (mathanapada), (you) have gone forth”.
