Vividhaguṇakara (विविधगुणकर) refers to “one who generates many kinds of qualities” and is used to describe Piṅganātha, 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, “Sādākhya is the Principle of Space. Anantadeva is all-pervasive, and is adorned with a pure mind. Well known as the Fire Principle, he is Piṅganātha by name who generates many kinds of qualities (vividhaguṇakara). Śrīkaṇṭha is the Water Principle. Śankara (also called) Balīśa is the lord whose body is nectar. I bow to (these) famous Siddhas who create many kinds of Kulas”.
