Miśrabhāva (मिश्रभाव) refers to a “mixed basic state”, according to the Kularatnapañcakāvatāra verse 5.12-13.—Accordingly, “If the basic state of the teacher and the one who takes (initiation) accords with sattva, then the Śāmbhava (initiation by) piercing certainly takes place. One should know that the one due to Śakti (takes place) when there is rajas and in the case of tamas it is considered to be the Āṇava one. O fair lady, when the basic state is a mixed one [i.e., miśrabhāva], the triple Command operates”.
