Dharmānurūpa (धर्मानुरूप) refers to “acting in accordance with the nature (of a particular age)”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, [verse 9.44-48ab]: “[...] [Siddhanātha] will also have two types of disciples, those with divine and those with mortal forms. O goddess, from aeon to aeon in (many) greater cosmic ages they are the protectors of the unfailing Command in accord with the nature (dharmānurūpa) of (each particular) age”.
