Nirācāra) refers to “one who is still”, according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—The adept who recites the mantra in conjunction with this Stillness is purified and protected from all defilement: “Standing, waking, sleeping, moving, enjoying and intent on sex—the one who observes Kaula practice (caryā) and who is still (nirācārin) (remains always) pure by recollecting mantra”.
