1) ṛṣṇa辱ṅg (कृष्णपिङ्गला) refers to the “black and brown� form of the Goddess, according to the Kularatnoddyota (chapter 9).—We are told in the Kularatnoddyota that prior to the goddess’s incarnation in the nineteenth kalpa as Dakṣa’s daughter, she will come into the world to kill the demons Caṇḍa and Muṇḍa. Then as Durg and Ktyyaṇ� in “a black and brown (ṛṣṇa辱ṅg)� form she will slay Mahiṣa, the king of the demons. She then appears again in the end of the ٱ貹 Age, as described in the Purṇas, to slay the evil king Kaṃsa and thereby save the newly-born Kṛṣṇa. Again, the Jayadrathaymala says practically the same, identifying the goddess of the nineteenth and last age as Bhadraklī.

2) ṛṣṇa辱ṅg (कृष्णपिङ्गला) or ṛṣṇa辱ṅgmb refers to one of the Consorts of Kuharadeva: one of the Nine Nthas according to the Kubjiknityhnikatilaka: a derative text drawing from Tantras and other sources such as the Ṣaṭshasrasaṃhit.—The Nine Nthas propagated the Western Transmission noted in the Kubjik 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.—Kuharadeva is the Cary name of this Ntha (i.e., the public name the Siddha uses when living as a wandering renouncer). His consorts are ṛṣṇa辱ṅg-amb [Alternatively Pūrṇ� (Kumbh, Piṅga) according to the Kulakaulinīmata].
