Gamāgamavinirmukta (गमागमविनिर्मुक्त) refers to “that which is free of ‘coming and going’”, 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 Śrīpāda (who is in the ‘threefold’ House of the three lineages) as the supreme form of the teacher]—“[...] Free of the plane of the three abodes, (that) subtle (state) is called Śrīpāda. It is the essential nature within the supreme, that is, the Sun of the energy of the Void. It is the Void and the foundation. Free of ‘coming and going’ (gamāgamavinirmukta), Śrīpāda is the teacher within the Transmission. He who understands (this) otherwise is said to be one who has fallen in the Transmission”.
