Anupaplava (अनुपप्लव) refers to “(one who is) free of afflictions” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Netratantroddyota commentary on the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 22.11]—“[...] [Śiva] projects [all conditions] outward and he also causes them to be made one with himself [internally, inside his consciousness]. And for this reason, he can also be understood as their leader. Untainted, transcending the impurities, beginning with minuteness, and free of afflictions (anupaplava). In the same way, one should construe niṣprapañca and nirābhāsa. [...]”.
