Dear Westin,

Could these references be of any help?

Many of the texts associate themselves with one *Ḍākiṇī-jāla-saṃvar-ārṇava-tantra (mkha' 'gro drwa ba sdom pa rgya mtsho'i rgyud).

Moreover, in his CE of Chp. 15 of the Ḍākārṇavatantra, Sugiki (p. 3n1) notes the mention of six Arṇava texts (including Saṃvarārṇava) in a colophon to the Ḍākārṇava. However, he says, "Most likely, the Six Oceans are imaginary root scriptures."
