Kulānvaya (कुलान्वय) refers to the “Kula tradition”, according to the Kularatnoddyota verse 1.30-35ab.—Accordingly, “O fair lady, what you are asking about, namely, the most excellent of them all is that special (realisation) that is accomplished by the Command in the Kula tradition (kulānvaya). It is the teaching that has come down (to earth and is based on) six authorities. It is characterized by the (presence of a true) teacher and god and has come down through the transmission of the tradition by the sequence of teachers and disciples”.
