Divyayogāgni (दिव्ययोगाग्नि) refers to the “fire of divine yoga”, according to the second recension of 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.—Accordingly, “Thus, Vyāsa, greatly pained, committed an astonishing suicide (kāla). Having kindled the Fire of Time and having recollected the energy of Vaiṣṇavī, he was burnt by the fire of divine Yoga [i.e., divyayogāgnidivyayogāgninā dagdho] (and so) there was no Vyāsa and no Śaṃkara and, O Maheśvara, Nature was burnt to ashes by Māyā”.
