Mudrayitvā (मुद्रयित्वा) refers to “having sealed” (the Krama), according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “O goddess, when the Kali Age began, Mīnīśa, (also) called Oḍḍīśa, sealed (mudrayitvā) all the Krama and then took and observed a vow of silence. The members of the congregation of the Practice of the Rule belonging to the Kula tradition that were (thus) sealed all came at the end of the cosmic age and, even though they were of three kinds (i.e. belonged to the three preceding Ages), they all meet together in one place”.
