Uttarabhāga (उत्तरभाग) refers to the second part of the printed Kāmikāgama: an ancient Śaiva Āgama scripture in 12,000 Sanskrit verses dating to at least the 5th century whereas modern publications are represented as an encyclopedic account of ritual instructions (kriyāpāda).—Today, the Kāmika is widely referred to as a primary source of authority for Śaivasiddhānta. It claims to have been originally transmitted in 100,000 billion verses. The Kāmikāgama is a somewhat different text today from how it has existed historically. In modern print editions, it is structured in two major parts (bhāgas), consisting of a Pūrvabhāga (“first part”) and Uttarabhāga (“second part”). [...] In print editions, the Kāmika consists of approximately 12,000 anuṣṭubh verses spread out over 173 chapters (Pūrvabhāga ~5,000 verses; Uttarabhāga ~7,000 verses).
