Jīvarūpin (जीवरूपिन्) refers to the “individual soul”, according to the commentary on the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, as Bhairava promises Himavat: “(You will be) the foundation of the sacrifice, the lord of the sacrifice, a pure soul free of imperfections. (You) who move between Iḍā and Pingalā with the movement of the inhaled and exhaled breath and are merged within Sūṣmanā will become (the essence of) the individual soul (jīvarūpin).”.
