Bālakrama (बालक्रम) refers to the “youngest lineage”, 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, “Assuming the supreme form, the Transmission arises threefold. In the youngest lineage, the Transmission of the Child [i.e., bālakrama], Kujā is Mālinī herself. That great mother is enveloped by the twenty-seven depositions. The goddess Tripurā is in the midst of the Transmission of the Youth. She is the goddess who resides in the middle lineage and is the bliss of the pulsation (of consciousness). She is Kuleśvarī enveloped by the twenty-seven depositions. [...]”.
