Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramAhataśiva (अहतशिव) is the name of a “Lord of Energy”, according to the Prāsādacandrikā.—[...] [Regarding the location of] the twelve phases of the utterance (uccāra) of OṂ [...], we are assisted in this by the Śaiva Siddhānta sources [i.e., Prāsādacandrikā] analysed by Brunner in her work on the Somaśambhupaddhati. She supplies three diagrams drawn on the basis of these sources depicting their location in and above the body. [...] Cf. 1) Somaśambhupaddhati (nirvāṇadīkṣāvidhi) verses 231-236; 2) Svacchandabhairavatantra 4/263-267ab, 342cd348 and 350-355; 3) Prāsādacandrikā quoted in the Kriyādīpikā (p. 96). The same passage is quoted by Anantaśambhu in his commentary on the Siddhāntasārāvali (p. 39) where it is attributed to the Vātulāgama. The Siddhāntaśekhara (p. 368-370) agrees with this source.
