Kuṇḍaladhārī (कुण्डलधारी) refers to “one who wears earrings”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, [while describing the gross form of Navātman called Śabdarāśinavātman]: “(Navātman) has a big body and burns intensely, illumining the sky with (his) radiant energy. [...] He wears divine earrings (divya-kuṇḍaladhārī) and the Great Gesture is (his) ornament. He has made the Great Ghost (who lies) on the lotus of the head of the Great Corpse, (his) seat. [...]”.
