Arṇavaugha (अर्णवौघ) refers to the “currents of the (great) ocean (of suffering)” [?], according to the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “The teacher should be respected and worshipped. Teachers should always to be venerated. Then, if the teacher has been satisfied, all the moving and immobile world has been satisfied. There is no one who is equal to the teacher in the mortal world, especially in the heavens. What (more) should one who saves from the great ocean of suffering do (mahā-arṇavaugha)? It is the disciple who acts (at the service of his teacher)”.
