: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

ʲ屹ٳ (परावस्था) refers to the “supreme state�, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—The Command is the teacher's enlightening and purifying power that, out of compassion for his disciple, assumes the form of the deity. In a series of thirty-two principles listed in the Kumārikākhaṇḍa, the goddess who is the Command (ñ-ī) is said to be above Śiva and is followed by the supreme state (貹屹ٳ) because it is through the Command that it is achieved directly. Accordingly, the Command is regularly identified with the Transmental (ܲԳī), which is the highest energy in the ascending series of sonic energies through which Kuṇḍalinī rises.
