Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Uttarīyakā (उत्तरीयका) (Cf. Uttarīya) refers to a “shawl”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, “That, O goddess, is said to be the subtle (form), now listen to the gross one. [...] She makes the Great Sound (of mantra) and, very powerful, she makes (the worlds) tremble. She is powerfully penetrated by the bliss of the Command and, wearing a human skin as a shawl [i.e., naracarma-uttarīyakā] and (human) skin (as clothing), she resides in the sequence of the eighty-one (syllable mantra). O fair one, such is the visualized form (dhyāna) there will be in the aged state. The Vidyā here is Mahāmāyā whose form is sixteen syllables”.
