Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramSindūrāruṇa (सिन्दूरारुण) refers to “that which is red like vermilion”, 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, “[...] (6) The Wheel of the Command is between the eyebrows. It is a fire in the form of a Point. In the middle of it is the seed of power (śaktibīja), red like vermilion [i.e., sindūrāruṇa-sannibha]. [...] (Perfect) contemplation (samādhi) is with (these) sixteen aspects and is (attained) within the form of the sixfold deposition (ṣoḍhānyāsa). He who knows this is (a veritable) Lord of Yogis, the others (who do not) are (just) quoting from books. Once attained the plane that is Void and Non-void, the yogi is freed from bondage”.
