Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramSiṃhārūḍhā (सिंहारूढा) refers to “she who sits on a lion”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “ (Pūrṇacandrā), the goddess who resides in the door in the north is Pūrṇā Maṅgalā. She has five faces and ten arms and sits on a lion [i.e., siṃhārūḍhā]. She wears the full moon on her head. The left hands make gestures of fearlessness and boon bestowal, and hold a mirror, a noose, and goad. In the right hands she holds a dagger, bow, sword, pestle, and a fearsome spear. She bestows boons in the north”.
