Lalitottara (ललितोत्तर) or Lalitottarāgama refers to one of upāgamas (supplementary scriptures) of the Lalitāgama which is one of the twenty-eight Siddhāntāgama: a classification of the Śaiva division of Śaivāgamas. The Śaivāgamas represent the wisdom that has come down from lord Śiva, received by Pārvatī and accepted by Viṣṇu. The purpose of revealing upāgamas (e.g., Lalita-uttara Āgama) is to explain more elaborately than that of mūlāgamas (e.g., Lalita-āgama) and to include any new idea if not dealt in mūlāgamas.
