Piṅgāsya (पिङ्गास्य) refers to “one who has a brown face”, according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, [while describing the visualized form of Navātman Bhairava]: “[...] Navātman’s mind is blissful with his own energy and he is delighted by the bliss of (spiritual) wine. [...] The first face is white. A red face is above it. Above that is a yellow face. (The face) on the right is dark blue. Above it is a grey face and above that a blue face. (The face) on the left is yellow and red. (The face) above it is brown and red. (The face) after that (above it) is white and red. The colour of mercury, it is very brilliant. The brown face (piṅgāsya) is fierce with jagged teeth and (its) eyes are red. [...]”.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
