Tryambakāditya (त्र्यम्बकादित्य) is the name of a mind-born son generated y Śrīkaṇṭha.—Jayaratha quotes from the Śivadṛṣti (chapter 7) which states that in the past the secret Śaiva and other doctrines where known to the great Ṛṣis who taught it to others, but it fell on bad times in the Kali age and the Śaiva teachings (śāśana) were about to be lost. Then, Śrīkaṇṭha, who was walking on mount Kailāśa, transmitted it to the world at the request of Durvāsa by generating a mind-born son called Tryambakāditya. Through the lineage of Tryambika the ‘wisdom of the Trikakrama, which is the secret of all the scriptures’ was revealed in the world.
