Divyāmnāya (दिव्याम्नाय) refers to the “divine tradition”, 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 Command (ājñā) is said here to be the teacher in the three traditions, not all four. This is because the Transmission of the Skyfarers (khecarakrama) is the Command in its pure, transcendental form. It is the Divine Current, also called the Divine Tradition (divyāmnāya), that extends through the lineage of Skyfarers who reside in the infinite expanse beyond the world of transmigratory existence. It is what is transmitted through the Current of Men. Entry into the Transmission of the Skyfarers (khecarakrama) is liberation itself. It is the flow of energy through the higher states that are aspects and direct developments of the Transmental, that is, the Command that is both the goal of the teachings and their vitalizing force.
