Cidvyoman (चिद्व्योमन्) refers to the “void of consciousness”.—[...] From one point of view, the seventeenth energy is the transcendental energy of the supreme form of Kuṇḍalinī, that is, in the raised state in which she is the energy of transcendental Śiva fused within him. A passage quoted by Jayaratha in his commentary from the Triśirobhairavatantra explains that this aspect of Kuṇḍalinī is the “Void of Consciousness (cidvyoman), the final and supreme plane beyond the gross, elemental vacuum. It is the Void of Śiva that is the supreme state, Non-being, which is the pulse of the experience of Being”.
