Kramamaṇḍita (क्रममण्डित) refers to “(being) teacher adorned with the Krama”, 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, “Now I will tell (you) the teaching concerning Gurunātha, merely by knowing which the tradition of the teachers functions. [...] O god, (he is) associated with the eighty-one parts (of Navātman) and has eight lotus-like faces and sixteen arms. (This is the) Sakala (form of the teacher), which is endowed with energy. Each part of (his) body is (like a shining) lamp within (his) maṇḍalas. (He is) the first teacher adorned with the Krama (kramamaṇḍita) and (accompanied) by the Siddha couples of the Transmental (that constitutes the Divine Current). [...]”.
