The *Kriyākālaguṇottaratantra*²⁴¹ is a Tantric text bearing upon medicine. It is in the form of a dialogue between Śiva and Kārttikeya. The latter puts questions to his father Śiva, wanting instruction about gāruḍamantras against poison, the characteristics of serpents and of demons, especially those who attack children, about embryology, and other subjects. The work is divided into three kalpas, named after the deities Krodheśvara, Aghora, and Jvareśvara.²⁴²
