Bhūmikājñāna (भूमिकाज्ञान) refers to “(having) knowledge of the planes (of existence)”, 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, [while describing the Eight Kulas]—“[...] He who knows the omnipresent Kula is a teacher in the Kula (kulācārya). He who says that Kulakaula is devoid of the knowledge of the planes (bhūmikājñāna-nirmukta) (of existence) does not have liberation and he wanders in the world of transmigration full of the wombs (within which he is reborn)”.
