Guṇojjvalā (गुणोज्ज्वला) refers to “she who blazes with qualities”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, “[...]  You have a third form which is present (in the Transmission of) the Youth and ends with (that of) the Aged. You will be in a form that can be contemplated by means of this very form. Consisting of great energy [i.e., mahātejomayī] and, inflammed, it blazes with incomparable qualities [i.e., anaupamya-guṇojjvalā]. O mother of Kula, it illumines the great meditation within the body. [...]”.
