In Hinduism

Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Ādisiddha (आदिसिद्ध) refers to the “First Siddha”, according to the second recension of the Yogakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—[...] The god is the divine prototype of the earthly Siddha—the fully accomplished adept who has achieved—siddha—the goal. The teachings are the “oral tradition of the Yoginīs” that is on the lips of the goddess. Even so, they are propagated in the world through lineages of Siddhas. Although they are all earthly representatives of the god, the First Siddha—Ādisiddha—is identified with the god most directly. The god is the First Siddha and the First Siddha is the god.
