Broadly speaking, the former in relationship to the latter is milder. The deities tend to assume a gentle form. [...] The Kaula, on the contrary, is ‘fierce’ and energetic. The main deities generally have fierce or ‘erotic’ forms, as do their attendants. Female forms are generally dominant.

2) Acārā (अचारा) refers to “unmoving”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “[...] The seventh place (attained) by abandoning the six (Wheels) is repose, the union of (all) seven (states) [i.e., saptamelaka]. It is the abode (of all things) and supreme bliss. (The first of all, it is like) the letter A, it is Śiva’s consciousness [i.e., śivacinmaya]. Then that energy of action is the New Moon, the unmoving (acārā) and final (energy of the Moon)”.

Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch

Acara (अचर) refers to “unmoving (things)”, according to the Viṣṇudharma verse 96.1 and 4.—Accordingly, “O Brahmin, you mentioned that this Brahma is eternal and from it this whole world [consisting of] moving and unmoving (acara) [things] arose [...]. Therefore, how could the [ever-changing] world arise from the eternal and omnipresent [Brahma], which is free from transformation and even devoid of quality?”.

For when [the state of] no-mind of mind [arises], duality is not perceived. [Why is this?] When the mind does not conceptualize because [one has] realized the truth of the self, then, it goes to the state of no mind. Therefore, in the absence of perceivable objects, there is no perception [of duality]”.

context information

Acara (अचर) refers to “immobile” (beings), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “The doctrine protects all [beings] that are mobile and immobile (cara-acara) with regard to the occurrence of misfortune. It also comforts [them] completely with a stream of the liquid ambrosia of happiness. The rain clouds, wind, sun, moon, earth, ocean and Indra—those, which are protected by the doctrine, are of service to the whole world”.

context information

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being.
