Siddhisādhikā (सिद्धिसाधिका) refers to “she who is the means to achieve success”, 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, [while desribing the Northern Tradition] “Mounted on the seed-syllable of the Three Heads, he wanders through the three worlds. She is the great and venerable Śāmbhavī energy that operates within the energy of consciousness. When angry she destroys, when content she is the means to achieve success (siddhisādhikā). Devoted to the practice of heroes, she is (one with the goddess) Kulālikā in the Western (tradition). Thus, that goddess is passionate and initiated into the Western Transmission”.
