Kularatnoddyota (कुलरत्नोद्द्योत) refers to one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—The Kularatnoddyota, which is about 2,500 verses long, was conceived to be a kind of commentary on the Kubjikāmatatantra. Indeed, although we do find a great deal of very interesting, new material, not found in the Kubjikāmatatantra, more than half deals with matters found in the Kubjikāmatatantra. However, it is does not generally, like the Śrīmatottara or the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, draw directly from it but orders the material in its own way.
