Now, the transmission of the Saiva Agamas known as ‘Siddhanta Sastras’ is told with all the
details. Since it yields abundant fruits which are to be gained through the tattva-related mantras
and since it safegaurds the efforts taken by the sadhakas, the Scripture is called “Tantra” .
The Tantra(Agama) called Kamika , as consisted of one parardha verses, was first revealed
to Pranava. This was transmitted to Trikala by Pranava and subsequently it was revealed to
Hara by Trikala. O, the much exalted Sages among the twice-borns! there are three secondary
Agamas(Upagamas) for this Kamika. They are: Vaktara, Bhairvottara and Narasimha(Mrugendra).
