Alakṣin (अलक्षिन्) (Cf. Alakṣiṇī) refers to “she who is imperceptible” (or, “devoid of (phenomenal) characteristics” [?]), according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “I am that sleeping serpent and, as is proper, (my) form is (both) divine and human. (I am) the Bliss of Stillness, incomparable, Anāmā, who is Parāparā. (I am) Aparā the energy Kaulinī and Parā who, devoid of (phenomenal) characteristics, is imperceptible [i.e., alakṣiṇī—nirlakṣālakṣiṇī]. I am that goddess Kubjikā. I am the crooked (goddess). I am the one with the lion’s look and I am the one whose vehicle is Śiva”.
