Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramCiñciṇīkula (चिञ्चिणीकुल) is established in the venerable Kadamba Cave, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “The Great Mata is above all Tantric practice. It is the Śāmbhava tradition that has come down through the series of teachers. It has come from the invisible (unmanifest) form and gives success in the Age of Strife. O god, it gives worldly benefit and liberation and is sealed in the First Seat. It is the venerable Ciñciṇīkula [i.e., śrīciñciṇīkula] present in the venerable Kadamba Cave, established (there) by the God of the gods in accord with the Rule”.
