ʰṇaپ (प्राणगति) refers to the “activity of the vital breath�, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “Mālinī of the Void (dzī) abides (both) as one and as many divisions (). The End of the Twelve is the Void which (is the abode of Mālinī that, as) the Self, is the nectar (Mālinī showers down below). (Thus Mālinī) resides in the midst of the ocean of nectar and, residing in the movement () (of the vital breath) [i.e., sthā], she is the one who impels (its) motion (vāhinī). 'Movement' is said to be the activity of the vital breath (ṇaپ). Thus she who, residing there, impels (it, is said to be) the one who impels (its) motion (vāhinī)�.
