Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramOḍḍiyānapīṭha (ओड्डियानपीठ) (or Oḍyāṇapīṭha) refers to the “venerable seat of Oḍḍiyāna”, according to the Khacakrapañcakastotra (“hymn to the five wheels of emptiness”) by Jñānanetra, the founder of the Kashmiri Kālīkrama.—Accordingly, “This, the venerable Hymn to the Wheels of the Five Voids is finished. It has come forth from the venerable seat of Oḍḍiyāna [i.e., oḍḍiyānapīṭha-vinirgata] and is offered to all the Yoginīs. It has emerged from the oral tradition in order to (impart) the knowledge of the Mahārthakrama”.
