Jyeṣṭhāvali (ज्येष्ठावलि) refers to the “oldest lineages”, according to the Kulakaulinīmata.—The Command can be that of the goddess or that of the god, the teacher or the entire lineage of Siddhas. It is transmitted through the lineage of the Siddhas who are accordingly said to guard it. The “oldest lineages” (jyeṣṭhāvali) that are common to all the Western Tradition generate the Command of radiant expansion (saṃsphurājñā). Accordingly, when the neophant receives the consecration, he should ask for the Command of all the Siddhas, not just that of his teacher and the deity.
