Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Prabhucaraṇa (प्रभुचरण) refers to the “Lord’s feet”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “The venerable Tree (HSKṢMLVRYŪṂ), called the Teacher’s Sandals, endowed with the energy of passion, (AIṂ) is the First Lord (Ādinātha) of Bhairava’s Command. His will is the divine seed (AIṂ), which is pure with (the direct) experience (of deity), and is the Wheel of the Fire of Time. The principle of Water has arisen which, filled with the energy of the Lord’s feet (HSKṢMLVRYŪṂ) [prabhucaraṇa-kalāpūrita], is the principle of the Self. When the Moon is destroyed, the pure and divine disc of the Full Moon invariably dawns. [...]”.
