Abhilakṣita (अभिलक्षित) (Cf. Abhilaṣita, Abhīṣṭa) refers to “that (universe) which one desires”, according to the Jñānaratnāvalī, (p. 268).—Accordingly, “The remaining one is the inferior lokadharmiṇī [initiation], [which] after death [leads the candidate to] the universe he desired (abhilakṣita-bhuvana). But the inferior [lokadharmiṇī initiation] bestows supernatural powers, starting with the power to become as small as one wishes, and the qualities of the deity presiding over the [respective cosmic level], after the purification of the cosmic path up to the level of the universe [the candidate] desires (abhilaṣita-bhuvana). And even on this desired cosmic level (abhīṣṭa-bhuvana), the cessation of karma is [only] of the unmeritorious part. [...]”
