प्रत्यङ्गिरा-स्तोत्रम्

The stotra shrI pratya~NgirA devI passed through the lineage of hoary tantrics thus:

The trident-bearing shrInAtha and kaulinI roaming in kailAsha founded the vidyA.
This they taught to the ancient tantric khagendranAtha and his wife vijayAmba.
They taught it to the students of brahminical splendour first, viktaShTi and his dame illAIambA from the drAviDa country and second, vimala and his wife anantamekhalA. These were the pUrvanAthas
Then it passed to the great tantric master of mantra vidyAs and prayogas, kUrmanAtha, and his wife ma~NgalAjyotI. They taught it to jaitra and his wife also named illAIambA and avijita and his wife AnandamekhalA. These were the dakShiNanAthas.

Then it passed to the great brahmin meShanAtha, knower of veda and tantra, and his beautiful wife kAmama~NgalA, the knower of the erotic lores. They gave to it their student the mighty vindhya and his wife kullAIAmbA and the yoga master ajita and his wife ajaramekhalA. These were the paschimanAthas.

From them it passed for a while to the mysterious tantric of secret rites, vR^ikShanatha who roamed the Himalayan fastness. From him it went to the great ritualist mitranAtha. After him the tantric masters committed a fatal error in the worship of kArttikeya. Enraged, the six-headed god drowned the vidyAs in the ocean. There it was eaten by a fish. The fisherman matsyendra caught the fish and having read the book eaten by the fish acquired the great vidyAs as well as the great lore of haTha yoga. Having acquired these lores he and his wife ku~NkumAmbA became the revivers of the tantra in this yuga. In addition to their six sons, they initiated brAhmaNas and kShatriyas who furthered the tantra. They were:
amaranAtha and his wife sillA.
varadeva and his wife eruNa.
chitranAtha and his wife kumArI
OlinAtha and his wife bodhA
vindhya and his wife mahAlakShaNA
guDikanAtha and his wife aparamekhalA

After them came oDIshanAtha who went from the Himalayan fastness to the west coast of bhArata, where he was succeeded by shrIShaShThanAtha, the great adept of the kaumAra lore in addition to shrI-kula and kAli-kula tantras. He was succeeded by shrIcharyendranAtha.

Thus, is the line of tantric teachers.
