°¿á¸Ä«pīṻ·²¹ (ओडीपीà¤�) or simply Oá¸Ä� is the name of a sacred seat referring to Oá¸á¸iyÄna or the ‘seat of OṂâ€� (´ÇṃkÄå°ù²¹±èīṻ·²¹), according to the ManthÄnabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess KubjikÄ..—The KumÄrikÄkhaṇá¸a refers to the place where the teachings were originally propagated as Uá¸apīṭha. Here the three Siddhas, Oá¸á¸Ä«Å›anÄtha, á¹¢aṣṭhanÄtha and MitranÄtha, received knowledge. As the first of these Siddhas presides over Oá¸á¸iyÄṇa this may be taken to mean that Uá¸apīṭha is a separate place. But the texts imply that the first of these three Siddhas remained where the original transmission took place, whereas á¹¢aṣṭhanÄtha went to PÅ«rṇagiri and MitranÄtha to KÄmarÅ«pa, where they founded separate seats. Again, we find that the first sacred seat, which is normally said to be Oá¸á¸iyÄna or the ‘seat of OṂâ€� (´ÇṃkÄå°ù²¹±èīṻ·²¹), is also called Uá¸u [Uá¸upīṭha] or Oá¸Ä� [°¿á¸Ä«pīṻ·²¹].
