Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramTattvadeva (तत्त्वदेव) refers to one of the “nine Siddhas” belonging to the Siddhaugha (“the current of the Siddhas”), as discussed in the Yogakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—[The seven Siddhas] are followed by the Nine Siddhas who are emanated from the deity’s radiant energy and are worshipped in the Cavity of Brahmā. Of these nine, three are in the sky, three are in the netherworlds and three are on the earth.—Tattvadeva is also associated with Rājā of the Divyaugha or Gurvogha (“current of the teachers”) and with Vīrabhadra of the Divyādivya (“divine-cum-mortal current”).
