Acintyavidhānanda (अचिन्त्यविधानन्द) is the son and disciple of Kūrmanātha: a Yuganātha (Lords of the ages), according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—The teachers [e.g., Kūrmanātha] and their consorts [e.g., Maṅgalāvvā] who brought the Kulāgama into the world in the four Ages [e.g., Treta] are related to the four sacred seats [e.g., Pūrṇagiri] in each of which grows a sacred tree [e.g., Bilva]. The text also lists the first disciples [e.g., Acintyavidhānanda (son)] of these teachers who then go on to have many more.
