Samāśrayin (समाश्रयिन्) refers to “one who considers equally”, according to the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “Accomplishment is not far and liberation is in the grasp of the disciple who, equal in pleasure and pain (sukhaduḥkha-samāśrayin), behaves in this way. One should worship whatever the teacher gives as (his) teaching. Therefore, having known (the matter) in this way, the teacher is (realised to be) deity and in no other way. One should worship him by prostrating before him, with meditation and Yoga at all three times (of the day). One cannot perceive the invisible form of the Lord in any other way”.
