ⲹԾ岹śԲ (अम्नायनिदर्श�) refers to the “explanation of the (Kula) tradition�, according to verse 12.1 of the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Kaulism as a whole is said to be a 岹śԲ even when it appears, as it did in the first phase of its development, embedded in the Śaiva Tantras as an option or a modality (ܱ or ܱ峦) contrasted with the Tantric (ٲԳٰ or ٲԳٰ峦). In the Netratantra, for example, we find a chapter dedicated to ‘an explanation of the Kula tradition� (kula-amnāyani岹śԲ). Kṣemarāja explains that this is the kulāmnāya岹śԲ the essential feature of which, as presented in this brief chapter of the Netratantra, is the worship of the eight Mothers.
