Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramTejaskandha (तेजस्कन्ध) refers to the “shoulders of fire”, according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, as the Goddess (i.e., Kubjikā) said to Caṇḍākṣī: “[...] As you have purified (saṃskṛta) this (place) with the Yoga of the Equinox (viṣuva-yoga) you will indeed be the mistress of (this) sacred seat in every Age. (You will be given) authority at the end of the Dvāpara Age. The seat on the shoulders of fire (tejaskandha-āsana) (will be given) to you and your consort in the world will surely be Cakrānanda. He is the Lord of Kula, the foundation of the Knots and his form is that of the maṇḍala, completely full (with all that is sacred)”
