Uttarāśā (उत्तराशा) refers to the “northern quarter”, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “The Face of the Unborn, free of defects, is the penetration of the energy of the will. Conjoined with the energy of knowledge (the face of) Īśāna is located above. It is said that the eastern face of the goddess is Tatpuruṣa. Aghora is the face that abides permanently in the western quarter . O lord of the gods, one should worship the face of Vāma located in the northern quarter (uttarāśā-gata). The face called Sadyojāta should be worshipped in the western quarter. The face of Picu is that of Śakti and faces downwards”.
