1) Divyaugha (दिव्यौघ) refers to the “divine current” and is also known as Gurvogha (“current of the teachers”), 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.—In accord with the common basic triadic pattern, the Yogakhaṇḍa presents three currents of Siddhas. The first emerged in the First Age, the second and third in the third and the fourth, respectively. The first is the divyaugha—the Divine Current. It is also called the gurvogha—the Current of the Teachers. The second is the divyādivya—the Divine-cum-Mortal-Current and the third is the siddhaugha, the Current of the Siddhas. Generated at the beginning of each Age, they trace step by step, group by group, the formation of the cosmic order first, and then the microcosmic body.

2) Divyaugha (दिव्यौघ) refers to the “Divine Current” according to the Saubhāgyasudhodaya and the Nityāṣoḍaśikārṇava.—The three lineages (olis) of the Śrīvidyā school are also described in the last chapter of the Saubhāgyasudhodaya by Amṛtānanda, well known as an early commentator of the [Yoginīhṛdaya]. There the Divine Current (divyaugha) of the goddess Vāmakeśvarī begins with Caryānātha, an incarnation of Supreme Śiva, and his consort (Śakti), who is the goddess Tripurāsundarī herself. He resided in the sacred seat of Oḍyāṇa during the Kṛta Age.
