Siddhaugha (सिद्धौघ) refers to the “Current of the Siddhas”, 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 Seat of Gesture is the Lord of the Elephants (i.e. KHPHREṂ), the pure Cave of the Moon that has fashioned itself in Kāmarūpa. Above is the seat Trisrota that generates the bliss of the teaching. It is the half-measure of the Seed of Sound (HSAUṂ). The seat of Meru is in the Point. It is power, the seed of bliss (AIṂ), which is the mouth of the Lotus of Kula. There is the Divine Current divine, that of the seats and above that the entire Current of the Siddhas [i.e.,  siddhaugha] and the Current of Kula. The Current of the Teachers is in Candrapurī, and the authority is in Koṅkaṇa at the beginning of the Age of Strife. It is this Tradition that is present in the three lineages. I bow constantly to (this) maṇḍala made of six parts)”.
