Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram1) Vyomānanda (व्योमानन्द) is another name of Bhairavīśa: one of the Nine Nāthas according to the Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka: a derative text drawing from Tantras and other sources such as the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā.—The Nine Nāthas propagated the Western Transmission noted in the Kubjikā Tantras. Although each Siddha has a consort with which he shares some part of his spiritual discipline, she is not considered to be his wife. Thus, from the perspective of his identity as an initiate, he is not a householder.—Trivikrama is the name at birth (i.e., the original names of the Siddhas) of Bhairavīśa. His [other] famed names are: Vyomānanda, Udayānanda and Kiraṇānanda. A Nātha may have more than one such ‘famed name’ (kīrtināma), according to the number of extraordinary events especially associated with him.
The Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka describes the extraordinary events that inspired his “famed names”: Trivikrama was called Vyomānanda-nātha because when he was in the city of Kanyākubja he stopped the movement of the sun and fixed it in the sky for twelve days. He was called Udayānanda because he illuminated (udyotita) Kaula, that is, the union of Śiva and Śakti. He was called Kiraṇānandanātha because on another occasion he concealed the rays of the sun.
2) Vyomānanda (व्योमानन्द) is another name of Mātaṅga: another one of the Nine Nāthas according to the Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka.—Dehila is the name at birth (i.e., the original names of the Siddhas) of Mātaṅga. His [other] famed names are: Gajaprabodha, Kuntaprastambha, Vyomānanda. A Nātha may have more than one such ‘famed name’ (kīrtināma), according to the number of extraordinary events especially associated with him.
According to the Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka: Dehila was called Vyomānanda-nātha because he saw the moon in the sky, presumably during the day.
3) Vyomānanda (व्योमानन्द) is another name for Aṅgamukha—one of the Nine Nāthas according to verse 43.177ff of the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—The Nine Nāthas (found in various Kubjikā Tantras) generally represent a well-known group of Siddhas. According to the Kulakaulinīmata, these Nine Nāthas originally resided in Ādinātha’s body as his vital breaths from which they emerged and were born as men in nine places. Pulīśa is also known by the name Vyomānanda.
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.
