Vyomamārga (व्योममार्ग) refers to the “path of the void”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly: “[...] Having seen and conceived (my) own Śakti and become blissful (thereby), (my) radiance, consisting of (both) Kula and Akula, is the fire offering of divine energy which is Akula that has gone forth (projected out from the) Bliss (of our union) along the Path of the Void (vyomamārga). (Thus) Mitranātha, whose qualities resemble mine, and is (my) incarnation, attained birth (here) below. His Śakti is beyond measure and intent on (the practice of) vow and discipline, her body is born of the (primal, universal) cause”.
