Siddhaśāsana (सिद्धशासन) refers to the “teaching of the Siddhas”.—The teacher is more than just a mediator or even a means of attainment, he is the embodiment of the deity and worshipped along with it. He is the bridge between the timeless, ideal world of the scriptures and the actual world of daily life. Myth pours out into history in an encounter that transforms them both into a living tradition. The tradition is not just that of the deity. It is the Tradition of the Masters and that of the Siddhas and their teaching (siddhaśāsana). It is as much theirs, the human medium in which the ideal is actualized, as it is that of Śambhu, the god and the Western Teaching. Thus, Kubjikā’s teachings are the Tradition of the Masters that begins with Śrīnātha. Accordingly, in the Kubjikā Tantras this term specifically denotes the teaching and the lineages through which the goddess’s Command is transmitted
