Śrīmatottaratantra (श्रीमतोत्तरतन्त्र) (or simply Śrīmatottara) is an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—The Śrīmatottara sticks fairly closely to the Kubjikāmatatantra. The actual text of this part of the Śrīmatottara is not the same as the Kubjikāmatatantra, as it often is when the Śrīmatottara draws from the Kubjikāmatatantra.
