Ājñānugraha (आज्ञानुग्रह) refers to the “grace of the command”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra (Kumārikākhaṇḍa), vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, as Bhairava said to the Goddess:—“O Great Goddess! Be gracious! Give me the grace of the Command (ājñānugraha). O Mother Kujā, by your fierce austerity, I have suffered a loss (hāni). O goddess, I have (already) said this (to you before)”.
