Jyeṣṭhakrama (ज्येष्ठक्रम) refers to the “transmission of the Eldest”, 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 one goddess) bestows accomplishment in three ways (as) Ambā, Siddhā and Ghorā. Here (in this case, the goddess) in the transmission of the Child is Ghorā and Siddhā is said to be in the Middle One. The Vidyā called Ambikā is in the middle of the transmission of the Eldest (jyeṣṭhakrama). Raktā is in the transmission of the Current of the Eldest. Klinnā is in the Middle Transmission and the one called Nityā, who resides in the teacher’s mouth is in (the transmission) of the Child”.
