Mokṣabhāva (मोक्षभाव) refers to the “attainment of liberation”, according to the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 22.10cd-13]—“The leader [Śiva] of these [mantras] is eternal, restraining, untroubled, unexpanding, without appearance, and causes protection. He does all, he protects the trembling minds [of those who are afraid of saṃsāra]. He leads. From [Śiva’s] leading, [the practitioner] shall attain liberation (mokṣabhāva) from great fear. Thus, [the mantra] is called “netra”, because [it] protects. [...]”.
