Lakṣapada (लक्षपद) refers to the “plane of the (ultimate) goal”, 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, “The energy you are, (O goddess) is the god Time who abides perpetually on the plane of the (ultimate) goal (lakṣapada). Kula is Śrīnāthabhairava who is in the midst of the (the lunar energies of the Goddess’s) fertile period. The sixteen (lunar) energies dissolve away there into the sequence of the twelve (solar energies). The twelve dissolve away into the Merumaṇḍala in seven (parts). (These) seven dissolve away with the six (parts of the Krama) and with the six into the group of four (sacred seats within the triangular Yoni). The four are there where the two parts (that is, Śiva and Śakti) are. The two parts dissolve away there where (the energy of the Transmental symbolized as) the digit of the New Moon resides”.
