Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramCaryānandanātha (चर्यानन्दनाथ) is associated with the “the Lineage of the child” according to the Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka.—In the first Age (kṛta), Śrīnātha in the form of Tūṣṇīnātha, founded the three lineages of the Eldest, Middling and the Child that were governed by Oḍḍīśanātha, Ṣaṣṭhanātha and Mitranātha, respectively. [in the Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka: Oḍḍīśanātha, Ṣaṣṭhanātha and Caryānandanātha] Then each of these, in this order, re-established the three lineages in the corresponding three Ages. Each group of three lineages thus constitutes three sub-divisions of the lineage corresponding to that Age.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
