Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramSṛṣṭyāḍambara (सृष्ट्याडम्बर) refers to the “clatter of (material) emanation”, 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.—Accordingly, “The (god) is five-fold because he is the cause of the clatter of (material) emanation (sṛṣṭyāḍambara). (He is) Śrīkaṇṭha, Śaṃkara, Ananta, Sādākhya and Piṅgala. Śrīkaṇṭha is in the principle of Earth, Śaṃkara resides in Water. Ananta is said to be Fire and Sādākhya is said to be Air. Space should be known to be Piṅgala. These five are the authors of emanation. In this way, the god who is (these) five resides in Earth and the others. This is the god Ciñciṇīnātha, Bhairava, the Siddha of the Command. The Lord has five forms and can grace and punish”.
