Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramDevyājñā (देव्याज्ञा) refers to the “goddess’s Command”, according to sources such as the Kulakaulinīmata and Kumārikākhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra.—In accord with the basic triadic division of the universe, the Nine Nāthas are divided into three groups of three. Three have authority on the earth. Three went down into the nether-worlds, and the remaining three flew up into the sky. Thus, (out of these nine) the seventh, Śivānandanātha, the eighth, Rāmānandanātha and ninth, Kṛṣṇānandanātha—these three out of the nine went up into the sky and (so) have no authority (in this world) as they are Skyfarers (who have become so) by the power of the goddess’s Command (devyājñā-prabhāva). [...] Those who are in the netherworld consume the object of enjoyment there. [...]
