Tilodaka (तिलोदक) refers to “sesame seeds”, 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, “I will (now) talk about the offering of libation (tarpaṇa) to the deities in the gathering (melaka), sacred seats, primary and secondary, the fields, or in the maṇḍala and in the middle of the wheel. Libation should be offered (in these places) with the waters of meat, liquor, kuśa grass and sesame seeds [i.e., tilodaka]. The gods who are fierce, tranquil and valorous are (all) pleased by this”.
