Verse 418

लोद्भवाद्वा ।सात्त्वतं नाम तन्त्रम्, 'तत्करोति तदाचष्टे' इति णिचि कृते क्विप्प्रत्यये णिलोपे च कृते पदं सात्त्वत्, तेषां पतिः योगक्षेमकर इति सात्त्वतां पतिः ॥

In plain words

Or else it derives from that other origin. Sāttvata is the title of a tantra. Take the maxim "he practises that, he teaches that," add the suffix ṇic in that sense, then add kvip and drop the ṇi, and the finished word standing there is sāttvat — those who practise and expound the Sāttvata. He is their lord, the one who secures what they need and keeps it safe. That is Sāttvatāṃ Patiḥ, the Lord of the Sāttvatas.

Close to the Sanskrit

Or from the arising out of …la. Sāttvata is the name of a tantra; by [the maxim] 'he does that, he declares that,' when ṇic has been applied, and when the suffix kvip and the elision of ṇi have been carried out, the word is sāttvat. Their lord, as the doer of acquisition and safekeeping — thus, Sāttvatāṃ Patiḥ, the Lord of the Sāttvatas.
