Alaṃgrāsakrama (अलंग्रासक्रम) refers to the “process of absorption”, 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, “Such is the Śāmbhava piercing, beyond thought, one should know it for oneself. It has been explained through the venerable Process of Absorption (alaṃgrāsakrama). By recollecting the Buddhist and other Siddhas the piercing which is devoid of thought constructs and directly perceptible arises in order (to realise) the reality beyond the senses. The entire knowledge (attained by means of this) piercing is the Speech (that arises) by recollecting the union of the causes. The Śāmbhava piercing takes place in this way both at a great distance and nearby”.
