The "Kularnava Tantra" mentions 18 Pithas and mentions Hingula as the third one. In the "Kubjika Tantra", Hingula is listed among the 42 Shakta or Siddha Pithas in which Hinglaj is at the fifth place. The "Pithanirnaya" or "Mahapithanirupana" section from the "Tantrachudamani" originally listed 43 names, but names were added over time making it 51 Pithas. It details the "Pitha-devata" or "Devi" (name of goddess at the Pitha), the "Kshastradishas" (Bhairava) and the "anga-pratyanga" (limbs including ornaments of Sati). Hingula or Hingulata is the first in list, with the "anga-pratyanga" being "Brahmarandhra" (a suture in the crown of the head). The Devi is known by several names such as Kottari, Kottavi, Kottarisha, and the Bhairava is Bhimalochana. In the "Shivasharitha", Hingula is again the first in a list of 55 Pithas. "Brahmarandhra" is the "anga-pratyanga", the goddess is called Kottari and the Bhairava is Bhimalochana (located in Koteshwar).
