Chadmin (छद्मिन्) refers to “deceitful”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—In one place in the Yogakhaṇḍa, the goddess describes the kind of teacher that one should avoid. He is not just immoral. Even worse, although ignorant of the Kaula rites, he criticizes the Kula scriptures. He is always intent on the practice of Tantra and does not possess the Command. He is intent on the low works of magic taught in the Bhūta and Gāruḍa Tantras. He abandons his teacher and is deceitful (chadmin). By talking with such a teacher and keeping his company, one goes to hell. He is not a part of the tradition and has no authority in any Kula lineage.
