Lalita Sahasranama # 91

Kulasanketapalini

Kulasya (=acarasya) sanketan (=rahasyani) palayati (= pasusu na prakasayati)

She protects the symbols ( or doctrines) of kula (i.e., of tradition)
Kula has many meanings. It may mean 'scripture'. It may mean tradition or traditional books (which reveals the secrets of kulas) Or it may mean right conduct as said in Bhavisyottara Purana

She protects, i.e., Palayati, the secrets of the scriptures and right conduct. She never reveals them to the ignorant. The secrets are threefold, viz., 1) secret of cakra 2) secret of matra, 3) secret of worship.
