Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramKhecaranāyaka (खेचरनायक) refers to the “lord of the Skyfarers”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, [verse 9.44-48ab]: “(Those) people who reside in the Śiva principle in this way are in three lines. O mistress of the gods, they will be initiated into the Kulakrama and, when that has taken place, a certain master Siddha who is manifest (to all) will be born of mine and your union. O fair lady, born in the Void and not of mortal womb, he will be the lord of the Skyfarers (khecaranāyaka). O great goddess, he will be called Siddhanātha”.
