I saved king Sudakṣiṇ� who had become a hireling and a prisoner. I am the three-eyed God who bestows happiness but brought about the misery of Gautama. I especially curse those wicked persons who harass my devotees. I have the feelings of endearment towards devotees. I drank up poison for the welfare of the gods. O gods, the miseries of the gods have always been removed by me. [...]�.

峾ū貹 (कामरूप) is the name of a kingdom that was conquered by Udayana (king of Vatsa) during his campaign to obtain sovereignty over the whole earth, according to the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 19. Accordingly, “It is not strange that then the King of 峾ū貹, bending before him with head deprived of the umbrella, was without shade and also without brightness. Then that sovereign returned, followed by elephants presented by the King of 峾ū貹, resembling moving rocks made over to him by the mountains by way of tribute�.

The Kathāsaritsāgara (‘ocean of streams of story�), mentioning 峾ū貹, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince Naravāhanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the 󲹰 (celestial beings). The work is said to have been an adaptation of Guṇāḍhya’s Bṛhatkathā consisting of 100,000 verses, which in turn is part of a larger work containing 700,000 verses.

峾ū貹 (कामरूप) is the name of an ancient region (corresponding to modern Assam), being born from there represents an undesirable characteristic of an Ācārya, according to the 9th-century Hayaśīrṣa-pañcarātra Ādikāṇḍa chapter 3.—The Lord said:—“I will tell you about the Sthāpakas endowed with perverse qualities. He should not construct a temple with those who are avoided in this Tantra. [...] Nor originating in 峾ū貹 or Kaliṅga, or Kāñcī, Kāśmīra or Kośala, nor one having bad behavior, bad company or come from Mahārāṣṭra. [...] A god enshrined by any of these named above (viz., 峾ū貹), is in no manner a giver of fruit. If a building for Viṣṇu is made anywhere by these excluded types (viz., 峾ū貹) then that temple will not give rise to enjoyment and liberation and will yield no reward, of this there is no doubt�.

Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Kamarupa in Shaktism glossary
: Google Books: The Kubji峾tatantra: Kulālikāmnāya Version

峾ū貹 (कामरूप) refers to one of the Mahāīṻs where Devī becomes incarnate, according to the Kubji峾ta-tantra.—[...] In the four Mahāīṻs [=Oḍḍiyāna, Jālandhara, Pūrṇagiri and 峾ū貹], Devī becomes incarnate as a protective goddess and future mother of many sons and daughters; a number of servants also appears at each of the four localities. During her stay in the fourth Mahāīṻ Devī explains the fifth which is called Mātaṅga. In contradistinction to the other Pīṭhas it has no fixed location on earth, but seems to be located above 峾ū貹. As such it is the place of origin of the entire world. [...]

: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

1) 峾ū貹 (कामरूप) (also, Kāmikā) refers to a Mahāīṻ (main sacred seat) and one of the ten places visited by the Goddess on her pilgrimage, according to Tantric texts such as the Kubji峾ta-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “She [i.e., the Goddess—Kubjikā] quickly went (to the place) where the auspicious river Ucchuṣmā (flows). It is in the Mahocchuṣma forest and transports the Divine and Mortal Currents (of the transmission). The goddess, endowed with the attributes of the divine Command, sports there where the lakes Mahocchuṣma and Nīla (are located). [...]�.

Note: The original name of this place, known to both early Hindu and Buddhist sources, is Kāmaru. The Sanskritized form ‘峾ū貹� is easily derivable from it. This place is of great importance for the early Śākta, that is, Kaula Tantras and the strongly Śākta orientated Bhairava Tantras. This is largely because of its association with Matsyendranātha, the reputed originator of the Kaula teachings and therefore, by extension, all the Kaula Tantric traditions, including those of Kubjikā, Tripurā and Kālī. The many Kaula traditions that link this site with such an important figure and its persistent identification with Kāmākhya (modern Gauhati) in Assam lend credibility to the correctness of this identification.

2) 峾ū貹 (कामरूप) (also Kāmākhya) refers to 峾ū貹īṻ: one of the Pīṭhas (“sacred seats�) where the god unites with the goddess according to the Ambāmatasaṃhitā.

3) 峾ū貹 (कामरूप) is located in the foremost portion above ԴDzԳī (‘mind beyond mind�), according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubji峾tatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] [峾ū貹’s] city is fashioned all around with pillars of sapphire. [...] Thus, it is located in the foremost portion, above Mind Beyond Mind [i.e., ԴDzԳī-ūrdhvasaṃsthita]. [...]�.

: Kamakoti Mandali: Nrisimha matrika-mandala

峾ū (कामरूप�) refers to one of the various ṛk-Śپ created by Rudra in order to destroy the clones that spawned from Ի󲹰첹’s body.—Accordingly, [...] Ի󲹰ܰ attempted to abduct Girājanandinī (Pārvatī) and thus ensued a fierce battle between Ի󲹰ܰ and the great Rudra, the Lord of Umā. Like raktabīja, every drop of blood that fell from the body of Andhaka created another Asura like him and in no time, the entire world was filled with Andhakas. To destroy the growing number of Andhakas, Rudra created innumerable ṛk-Śپ [viz., 峾ū]. These Śaktis of immense power at once began to drink every drop of blood that flowed from the body of Andhaka, but they could still not effectively contain the emergence of more and more demons.

峾ū貹 (कामरूप) is a place-name without suffix and is mentioned in the Gupta inscription No. 1. The Gupta empire (r. 3rd-century CE), founded by Śrī Gupta, covered much of ancient India and embraced the Dharmic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. 峾ū貹 has been mentioned as one of the frontier states which were subordinate to Samudragupta and whose emperors paid him taxes and all kinds of obeisance. Majumdar identifies it with Upper Assam.

峾ū貹 consisted of the Western districts of the Brahmaputra valley which being the most powerful state and being the first to be approached from the western side came to denote the whole valley. The area of 峾ū貹 was estimated by the Chinese traveller Hiuen Tsang to have been 10,000 li i.e. 1667 miles in circuit which shows that it must have comprised the whole valley of Brahmaputra.

Śaktisaṅgama describes 峾ū貹 as extending from Kāleśvara to the Śvetagiri and from Tripura to the Nīla-parvata (which is the Nilādri or Nīlakūṭa, the name of the Kāmākhyā hill). The Kamauli grant of Vaidyadeva mentions 峾ū貹 as a Maṇḍala of the Prāgjyotiṣa-bhukti. Chatterji remarks that the tribes living on the frontiers of 峾ū貹 were akin to the Man tribes of South-Western China, a wild Tibeto-Chinese people.
