Daśadiśa (दशदिश) refers to the “supreme will”, 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 salute that (goddess) called Parā who is the supreme will (parecchā), subtle and unchanging, called Supreme (Parā), Middling (Parāparā), and Inferior (Aparā). Hard to perceive, she can be realized (only) by means of awakened consciousness (bodha). She is the Pure Plane and devoid of the qualities (of Nature) (guṇa), she is the Void (kha). Eternal bliss, (all the beings in) the ten directions bow (to her) [i.e., daśadiśa-namitā]. She who is supreme and well know is on the plane of the three paths (i.e. the Yoni) in the beginning, middle, and end (of all things). [...]”.
