Kāyavivikta (कायविविक्त) refers to “(one who is) detached from body”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “[...] However the Bodhisattva, having overcome sixty-two doctrinal viewpoints derived from the root view that there is a permanent substance, produces the supernormal knowledge in the absence of any attachment of view; [...] he is the one who is endowed with knowledge, insight, consciousness, tolerance, morality; he, having entered into concentration, is detached from body (kāyavivikta) and mind; he approaches his inner and does not move around his outer through such knowledge; he is endowed with the object that there is no object; [...]”.
