Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Niradhikaraṇa (निरधिकरण) refers to “that which is not subject to authority”, 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, “That bliss is the Neuter (absolute). It is neither female nor is (its) form (ākāra) male. Its nature (rūpa) is the Liṅga that possesses authority and is not subject to (any other) authority (niradhikaraṇa). Located in the Void (khastha), unmanifest and form annulled (nivartitākāra), it is Bhairava. In the same way (evam), the power of bliss is the divine (female) Liṅga (divyaliṅgā) that has emerged within the Transmission (kramoditā)”.
