Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramRāmaśivadeva (रामशिवदेव) refers to one of the Sixteen Siddhas according to the Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka: a derative text drawing from Tantras and other sources such as the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā.—These sixteen spiritual teachers represent the disciples of the Nine Nāthas who propagated the Western Transmission noted in the Kubjikā Tantras. According to the lunar symbolism of the Kulakaulinīmata, these these sixteen teachers are the rays of the moon. According to the Ambāmatasaṃhitā, the sixteen great Siddhas [e.g., Rāmaśivadeva] have authority in Koṃkaṇa; and it is further stated that the Kaulika (tradition) with sixteen lineages originated in the Deccan (dakṣiṇāpatha).
Rāmaśivadeva is the Caryā name of this Nātha (i.e., the public name the Siddha uses when living as a wandering renouncer). He is alternatively known as Dhārāśiva or Varāhadeva. Rāmaśivadeva is further associated with the following: (1) Birth place: Pṛthūdaka in Kurukṣetra (alternatively, Śivasthāna); (2) Caste: Brahmin (alternatively, Vaiśya); (3) Name at birth: Aniruddha (alternatively, his birth-name is Padmanābha and his father is Tāta); (4) Prasiddha or famed name: Puṣpānanda; (5) Gopya or secret name: Keśavānanda; (6) Prapūjya or worship-name: Ratnānanda (or Bhaṭṭānanda, Traipura, Unmanānanda); (7) Consorts: Vegadevī and Barbarāmbā (or Vegāmbā).
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
