Unmattarūpa (उन्मत्तरूप) refers to “one resembling a mad man”, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “Looking like a mad man [i.e., unmattarūpa-dhṛk], the Yogi goes to a frightening (place). His hair is disheveled and, naked, he observes a vow of silence. (There) he should repeat (the Vidyā of) the goddess (mentally) a hundred thousand times and he should make a million (ayuta) offerings to the fire. (He should offer) human flesh (mahāpala) with clarified butter and bdellium (guggula) during the dark lunar fortnight. [...]”.
