Paramānandasundara (परमानन्दसुन्दर) refers to “beautiful supreme bliss”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Vāmadeva says to Īśvara: “O Lord, chief god of gods, [you] who are beautiful because of [your] supreme bliss (paramānandasundara), I have obtained the extensive preliminary yoga by your favour. Tell [me] about that other [yoga] which was mentioned by your lordship”.
