Campanī (चम्पनी) is the name of the Goddess associated with direction West and the sacred seat of Udyānaka (Oṃkāra/Udyāna), according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—[...] The description of the maṇḍala specifies the directions with respect to the goddesses in every case, but only in some cases with respect to the seats. The latter has been inferred from the names of the goddesses [i.e., Campanī].
