Kaulikīśakti (कौलिकीशक्ति) (or Kaulikīsiddhi) refers to the “Kaula accomplishment”.—Akula is presented as identical with the concepts and terms which had clear feminine or Śakti identities.—(cf. Tantrāloka II. 96-97) [...] Gradually Akula became the supreme possessor of the power called Kaulikīśakti with which he creates the universe. [...] According to earlier Kula doctrine, Kaulikīśakti or Kaulikīsiddhi was the ultimate power to be attained. But as an impact of the evolution, the concepts and notions related to the school of Kula have greatly changed and transformed into the masculine centred philosophy.

Kaulikīśakti (कौलिकीशक्ति) is another name for the Goddess.—Kubjikā is not just the Great or Supreme Goddess—Mahādevī, or Parameśvarī—she is also a Great Kaula Goddess. Her names denote who she is. They indicate her nature. Specific names only she possesses denote her specific nature. [...] Although these names are necessarily abstract and generic, thus allowing for universal application, like all the goddesses denoted by them Kubjikā implicitly appropriates them as specifically her own. They suggest that it is Kubjikā who is THE Kaula Goddess. This process is most evident in those names that denote her supreme status in the Kula. These include Kaulinī, Kaulikī (or Kaulikā), Kauleśī (or Kaulīśā), Kaulikeśvarī, Kaulikīśakti, Kulakaulinī and Kuleśvarī.
