Yuvākrama (युवाक्रम) refers to the “transmission of the youth”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “In the Transmission of the Youth [i.e., yuvākrama] (the goddess) has one face and four arms. (She makes) fear-dispelling and boon bestowing gestures and (holds) a rosary and water pot. In the Transmission of the Aged (Kubjikā) has one face and two arms and many forms. The mistress (nāyakī) of the three lineages has thus been described. She should be invoked sitting next to Navātmā (Bhairava)”.
