Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Garbhasthāna (गर्भस्थान) refers to the “location of the (triangular) womb” 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, [while describing Śrīpāda (who is in the ‘threefold’ House of the three lineages) as the supreme form of the teacher]—“[...] If one desires eternal liberation, one should know (him) to be beside (one’s own) venerable teacher. Thus, undivided within oneness is the sixteenth (energy of the Moon) above (the End of the Twelve which is) the location of the (triangular) womb (garbhasthāna) (that contains all the energies of emanation). Free of the plane of the three abodes, (that) subtle (state) is called Śrīpāda. [...]”.
