Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramBhadrāṅga (भद्राङ्ग) refers to one of the “sixteen Siddhas” belonging to the Divyādivya (“divine-cum-mortal current”), as discussed in the Yogakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—[The seven Siddhas] are followed by the Nine Siddhas. There are three in the sky, the netherworlds and on the earth. The Sixteen Siddhas are their spiritual sons. They are born from Sūryadeva and are located in the body.—Bhadrāṅga is associated with Raudra of the Divyaugha or Gurvogha (“current of the teachers”) and with Prayāsa of the Siddhaugha (“the current of the Siddhas”).

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
