Svabhūmi (स्वभूमि) refers to the “plane of one’s own (innate nature)”, according to the Ciñcinīmatasārasamuccaya verse 7.193cd-195.— Accordingly, “That is the plane of repose, illumined by Kālī's radiant energy. Consciousness awakens consciousness that has been awakened by its own consciousness. They pervade one another in accord with the activity of the Wheel (of the Twelve Kālīs). The most excellent (transcendental) Void above is the Skyfarer who has entered into the plane of the plane of its own (svabhūmi) (innate nature). In the same way, the pulse (of the activity of consciousness) pulsates most intensely by the manifestation of that vitality. Once abandoned Time, Eternity and one's own time, one should bring (all these energies) to rest within bliss. Once made contact with the circle of the energy of consciousness, the yogi sports in that bliss”.
