Tattvaprakāśana (तत्त्वप्रकाशन) refers to “making manifest the (highest) reality”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I will teach the practice of that, which produces absorption. [...] Sitting evenly on a comfortable seat, one should accomplish the practice of [eliminating] the [lower] Tattvas. Through constant practice, [the Yogin] should make manifest the highest reality (para-tattvaprakāśana). [...]”.
