Siddhakauṇḍalin (सिद्धकौण्डलिन्) is the name of a Lord (Nātha), according to Tantric texts such as the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, as the Goddess (i.e., Kubjikā) said to Karālī:—“[...] Whose is this divine creation that was here before in the sacrifice? You have fallen due to the great heat (pratāpa) of my energy (but) have not fled (from it). O Karālavadanā (One with a Fierce Face), you who extend the net (jāla) of Māyā! You will soon (be given) lordship over Jālandhara. Once he comes from the assembly of the Skyfaring (Yoginīs) (khecarīcakra), the venerable lord Siddhakauṇḍalin, the lord (nātha) who knows all things (aśeṣārtha), will be your lord (nātha)”.
