Aṅkasaṃyukta (अङ्कसंयुक्त) refers to “possessing a particular mark”, according to verse 10.152-155 of the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, “O mistress of Kula, this is by its very nature the last Kula tradition. [...] The previous tradition will possess the mark (aṅkasaṃyukta) of the venerable Mīna (Mīnanātha) and the transmission of the sacred seats and that lineage. It will possess the names of the Yoginīs and Siddhas and, along with the trees and creepers, O mother of Kula, there will also be an independent lineage (pṛthaksantāna-bheda)”.
