Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramNivṛttyanta (निवृत्त्यन्त) refers to the “culmination of completion”, according to the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, as Bhairava describes himself: “I am indeed the sole potter and I burn with (divine) qualities in the midst of the Skyfarers and the rest. Established in the status of a teacher, I emanate all things. I am Sādākhya of the Skyfarers, Piṅga (the Tawny One) born of the Wind. In (the element) Fire, my nature (as Ananta) is endless. I am the Lord of Grace—Anugrahīśa, born of Water. I am Śrīkaṇṭha at the culmination of completion (nivṛttyanta). I am Kulīśa in the world. I grace all things. [...]”.
