Matrīśa (मत्रीश) refers to one of the “five Siddhas” associated with the Divyādivya (“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.—Three Siddhas were born from the first Siddha’s radiant energy. They were the counterparts of Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Rudra of the previous Current. After them, as in the previous Current, Five Siddhas came into being who were the counterparts of the previous ones. They entered ‘the sequence of the six parts’, that is, the Krama. Thus, along with Śrīnātha, they are the Siddhas of the sacred seats.—Matrīśa is also associated with Śrīkaṇṭha of the Divyaugha or Gurvogha (“current of the teachers”)
