In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram1) Oḍa (ओड) is a variant reading for Oḍra, referring to the “Great Lord of Oḍra”.—According to the Kubjikāmatatantra, after her tour, the goddess finally reunites with the god in a place called Uḍu. According to the edited text of the Kubjikāmatatantra the god is called, the ‘Great Lord of Oḍra’ (oḍramaheśāna).
Note: In Kumārikākhaṇḍa verse 6.223-224 the reading of Oḍramaheśāna is Oḍḍumaheśāna. Cf. Kubjikāmatatantra verse 11.50 where the name is Śrīmadoḍrakuleśvara. In Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā verse 18.66 Oḍamaheśvara is said to be the lord of Oḍḍiyāna.
2) Oḍa (ओड) is the name of the Siddha associated with the Praṇava of Khecara (KHPHREṂ) and the sacred seat called Oḍiyāna, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—The praṇavas are loaded with many more correspondences. In chapter eight of the Kumārikākhaṇḍa they are one of five groups of five. [...] As usual, movement through these stations engendered by the utterance of the praṇavas brings about states of possession (āveśa) and their accompanying attainments along with the full range of yogic powers.
