Pakṣapātavinirmukta (पक्षपातविनिर्मुक्त) refers to “being free from all partialities”, according to the Sarvajñānottara verse 20.34-39.—Accordingly, while discussing the culmination of detachment (for the process of attaining the no-mind state): “[...] Having established his state in that which is free of all states, he makes his state supportless. Having made the mind no-mind, he thinks of nothing whatsoever. He should meditate on the self [as] neither conceivable (cintya) nor inconceivable and [as] both. He knows the self to be free from all partialities (pakṣapātavinirmukta). [...]”.
