: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

侱ñī (चिञ्चादेवी) (or Ciñciṇ�) refers to the “Goddess of the Tamarind�.—The birth and exploits of Vṛkṣanātha are described for the first time in the Kularatnoddyota but there he is rarely called by his homonym Ciñciṇīnātha or Ciñciṇīśa. Vṛkṣanātha is the ‘Lord of the Tree� because he is associated with the Kramamaṇḍala, which is the Maṇḍala of the Tree (ṛkṣaṇḍ) and the Tree of Brahmā. More specifically, his name suggests his association with the seed-syllable Navātman which is called the Tree because of the resemblance its written form has to an inverted tree. Outwardly, he is associated with the tamarind tree in which Kubjikā, the Goddess of the Tamarind (侱ñī or Ciñciṇ�) resides.
