Kulasaṃketa (कुलसंकेत) refers to the “Kula tradition”, according to the Kularatnoddyota (verse 2.4cd-10).—Accordingly, “[The Śrīkula is] accomplished by the Command and, supremely divine, it is adorned with the lineage of the Śrīkrama. [...] It is the great contemplation of Vidyā and mantra based on the teaching of the Kula tradition (kulasaṃketa-pūrvaka). It is adorned with the primary and secondary sacred fields, meeting grounds and the secondary seats. (The teachings also) concern spiritual discipline, the rite of adoration, initiation, and the visualization (of the deities)”.
