Sugati (सुगति) refers to “realisation”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—[...] Freedom from thought, in other words, is both one of the foundations of practice and the achievement of its perfect accomplishment in the Śāmbhava state. The practice of Yoga is understood as the development of the Śāmbhava state beyond conception which arises when thought constructs have been silenced. This is simply because “the condition (gati) of the mind on the plane of realisation (sugati-pada) is one that cannot be conceived by thought (cintācinta)”.
