[The 痴腻蝉耻诲别惫补尘腻丑腻迟尘测补] is a text of P膩帽car膩tra 膧驳补尘补. The 膧驳补尘补 claims Vedic origin as it is said to be based on the extinct 贰办腻测补苍补 recension of the 艢耻办濒补 Yajurveda. In this 膧驳补尘补 痴腻蝉耻诲别惫补 is Parabrahman, 狈腻谤腻测补峁嘺 (尝补办峁墨 Tantra XV.9). 厂补峁卥补谤峁峁嘺, Pradyumna, Aniruddha are his manifestations. Though these are names of 驰腻诲补惫补 heroes who lived at the fag-end of 顿惫腻辫补谤补 Yuga, they are said to represent the self (闯墨惫补), the mind (Buddhi) and the ego (础丑补峁僰腻谤补) and as such they are ancient (笔耻谤腻迟补苍补) and not limited to 顿惫腻辫补谤补 Age (尝补办峁墨 Tantra VI.12b, 13). 痴腻蝉耻诲别惫补 means one who is omnipresent and everything resides in him (VP 1.2.12). He is the Supreme Lord who is glorified in this section. Hence the title 痴腻蝉耻诲别惫补-M膩h膩tmya.
