According to the Manthānabhairavatantra (Kumārikākhaṇḍa) liberation is attained after seven lifetimes: “This is the divine Kulakrama of the Tradition, that is, the Western Tradition. (It proceeded) from Dakṣa ten thousand one hundred years ago and so all that has been said by Siddhanātha was (uttered) before by Dakṣa. O god, this, the most excellent Krama Current, should not be written in a book. One should known that the transmission (krama), the pure meaning of the doctrine (matārtha), is transmitted verbally. By worshipping (it), one attains liberation within seven lifetimes. [...]”.
