Utkallola (उत्कल्लोल) refers to a “great wave”, according to the Khacakrapañcakastotra (“hymn to the five wheels of emptiness”) by Jñānanetra, the founder of the Kashmiri Kālīkrama.—Accordingly, “I bow to the Great Reality, the venerable (goddess) Maṅgalā, she who is the mother of all things, the energy of Śiva, the awesome power of consciousness. (I praise her) the great wave [i.e., mahā-utkallola] of the Great Reality filled with all things, (she who is) the light of the Inexplicable, the Sun, Moon and the Fire of (universal) destruction”.
