No sign of a female Sanskrit (or Indic) name
“Gomadevī,” is there? Also there seems to be no Sanskrit word goma or gomā.
But there is a word gomātṛ (MW, s.v.) but
it does not help me tracing the name Gomadevī in Indian sources, that
is, as a name of female person that occurs in the
transmission lineage of the *Guhyagarbhatantra.

🤔 Meghasthāna?
dGe chos gsung ’bum (vol. 1, p. 189): Meghasthāna! I
wonder if there is any Sanskrit source for it.
🤔 Tirahita?
The dGe chos gsung ’bum (vol. 1, p. 186) refers to
a place in India called Tirahita but it does not seem to be known outside
Tibetan sources.

🤔 Patikīrti?
There is the mention of a name
of a city “Patikīrti” (in connection with the legend of the origin of
Yogatantra and Rab gsal zla ba). But it could also be that spelling (in
transliteration) is mangled. But the name seems to be unknown in Sanskrit
sources?
🤔 Pradyotacandra?
Rab gsal zla ba is said to be a
king from South-East India. Reconstructed as Pradyotacandra (Roerich;
van der Kuijp) and Prakāśacandra (Weinberger). Any sign of a Sanskrit source?
