Parapiṇḍikā (परपिण्डिका) refers to the “supreme aggregate (of energies)”, 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, “(Kaula’s) will is the energy (śakti) that has come forth (from it) and is Kaulinī whose form is the sprout (of creation). She is the goddess Parā, the (female) Neuter who is the Mother of (all) the systems. She is the (ultimate) end of the path of liberation. She is (also) the supreme aggregate (of energies) (parapiṇḍikā), which is (the condition) without (any ultimate) end (and is binding)”.
