Antaracārin (अन्तरचारिन्) (Cf. Antaracāriṇī) refers to “one who moves within”, 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, “(Kubjikā’s) iconic form is threefold (according to whether it is) in (the transmission) of the Child, Middle One or the Aged. [...] She is said to be a short vowel at the beginning and appears to be slightly bent. She is dark blue like the petal of a blue lotus and is covered with the ashes of heroes. She has six faces and aspects. As the power of consciousness, she moves within [i.e., cicchakti-antaracāriṇī]. She sees with her eighteen round eyes. She has twelve arms and is adorned with many garlands. She sits on a ghost as her throne and is adorned with many ornaments. She is mounted on the Kula teaching of thousands of millions of Kulas. The teaching concerning her body is said to be hard to acquire even by the gods. [...]”.
