Guṇanirmukta (गुणनिर्मुक्त) refers to “that which is free of qualities”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, “The supreme sky is pervasive and free of (all) qualities [i.e., guṇanirmukta], including sound and the rest. It should be known to be the supreme space, which is (the supreme) reality, namely, the Void free of imperfection. It is the lineage called the Path of Meru in the Kula teaching”.
