Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramKundasamaprabha (कुन्दसमप्रभ) refers to “that which is brilliant like a white lotus” according to the Ṭīkā (commentary) on the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, [while discussing the syllables of Navātman]: “[...] The Self at the End of Sound delights, that is, is uttered along with the (vital) Wind, which is the Obstructress. How is the Obstructress? [it is drawn like this: o|o] What is that Peak (syllable)? (It is) Navātman described previously. How else is it? It is pure, free of impurity and brilliant white like snow, a white lotus (kundasamaprabha) and the moon [himakundendusamaprabhaṃ]. How else is it? It is full in all respects. [...]”.
