1) Divyādivya (दिव्यादिव्य) refers to the “divine-cum-mortal-current”, as discussed in 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.—In accord with the common basic triadic pattern, the Yogakhaṇḍa presents three currents of Siddhas. The first emerged in the First Age, the second and third in the third and the fourth, respectively. The first is the divyaugha—the Divine Current. It is also called the gurvogha—the Current of the Teachers. The second is the divyādivya—the Divine-cum-Mortal-Current and the third is the siddhaugha, the Current of the Siddhas. Generated at the beginning of each Age, they trace step by step, group by group, the formation of the cosmic order first, and then the microcosmic body.

2)  Divyādivya (दिव्यादिव्य) refers to “(both) divine and human”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra.—Accordingly, “I am that sleeping serpent and, as is proper, (my) form is (both) divine and human [i.e., divyādivya-svarūpiṇī]. (I am) the Bliss of Stillness, incomparable, Anāmā, who is Parāparā. (I am) Aparā the energy Kaulinī and Parā who, devoid of (phenomenal) characteristics, is imperceptible. I am that goddess Kubjikā. I am the crooked (goddess). I am the one with the lion’s look and I am the one whose vehicle is Śiva”.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
