According to the lunar symbolism of the Kulakaulinīmata, these these sixteen teachers are the rays of the moon. According to the Ambāmatasaṃhitā, the sixteen great Siddhas [e.g., Bhojadeva] have authority in Koṃkaṇa; and it is further stated that the Kaulika (tradition) with sixteen lineages originated in the Deccan (岹ṣiṇāpٳ).
