Mahāmudrāvibhūṣaṇa (महामुद्राविभूषण) refers to “one who has the great gesture as one’s ornament”, 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 and the Great Gesture is (his) ornament (mahāmudrāvibhūṣaṇa). He has made the Great Ghost (who lies) on the lotus of the head of the Great Corpse, (his) seat. [...]”.
