Kaulikīsiddhi (कौलिकीसिद्धि) or simply Kaulikī refers to the “Kaula accomplishment”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—A good disciple should always be intent on the inner practice of Yoga, attend to outer ritual (kramapūjā) and observe the teacher’s Command. In this way he will attain the Kaula accomplishment (kaulikīsiddhi), which is liberation. One who knows the Command and its power and, well concealed, worships the teacher, quickly achieves success (siddhi).

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.
