In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramKulasaṃbhava (कुलसंभव) or Śrīkulasaṃbhava refers to “one born of the Śrīkula”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly: “[...] In this way, all embodied beings will be destroyed up to the Great Age. When the end of the merger of Brahmā, Upendra, and Mahendra comes about, the Siddhas born of the Śrīkula (śrī-kulasaṃbhava) will assume the nature of pure consciousness. Most excellent in every respect, (these Siddhas) will not be destroyed when the time comes of universal destruction. [...]”.

[...]”.
