Pañcayoni (पञ्चयोनि) [=Yonipañcaka?] refers to the “five-fold Yoni”, according to Tantric texts such as the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “The letters that are part of the body of that Vidyā that has been explained previously as (conjoined with Mālinī, that is) with the sequence (of letters) beginning with Na and ending with Pha, are conjoined with the Five Praṇavas. And so each letter, in due order, is (united) with the essential nature of the one five-fold Yoni [i.e., pañcayoni]. Bhairava as the sequence (of the letters) beginning with A and ending with KṢa is Śabdarāśi. One should encapsulate each of those letters individually with the Five Praṇavas”.
