Sarvagamana (सर्वगमन) refers to “practice with everybody”, 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, “Those who undertake the vow should practice the threefold conduct in the course of (their) nocturnal practice. This is the Conduct of a Hero, which is the Hero's Vow (observed) in the modalities of the Hero's union and the union Dūtīs (Kaula consorts) practice with everybody (sarvagamana), which is both external and internal. The mind should not be checked. One should go wherever the mind goes and practice the Conduct of Desire. Clearly evident, this is said to be the threefold sign (liṅga) (of this practice), the sum and substance of the Vow”.
