1) Prasupta (प्रसुप्त) refers to the “sleeping state” (of the Supreme Lord—Parameśvara), as discussed in the Yogakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, as the Goddess says to Mahādeva: “O Great God (mahādeva), when the universe, mobile and immobile, was a formless Void there was neither you nor I, neither Brahmā nor Keśava (Viṣṇu), neither the gods nor the world; [...]. The God of the gods, the Supreme Lord without beginning, the agent of the emanation of the radiant energy (to which belongs all that) extends from Brahmā up to the end of the worlds, slept (prasupta). O Hara, the unmanifest god, generated the Cosmic Egg. O fair faced one, there in the middle, you and I abided for a cosmic age. [...]”.

2) Prasupta (प्रसुप्त) refers to “that which sleeps”, according to the Commentary on the Śivasūtra.—Accordingly, “That subtle and supreme power is said to be Stillness (nirācāra). Wrapping (itself around) [i.e., veṣṭayitvā] the Point (bindu) (in the centre) of the heart, her form is that of a sleeping serpent [i.e., prasupta-bhujaga-ākṛti]”.
