Tīvraśaktipāta (तीव्रशक्तिपात) refers to the “most intense form of grace”, according to the Mahānayaprakāśa [by an unknown author].—The probably South Indian author of the third Mahānayaprakāśa—who, unlike Śitikaṇṭha and Arṇasiṃha, makes full use of Pratyabhijñā concepts—begins his work with a eulogy of No-means as the most intense form of grace (tīvraśaktipāta) through which the supreme principle is attained. Indeed, he goes so far as to identify the Krama teachings with No-means [i.e., anupāya-krama], which he identifies with the Śāmbhava penetration (śāmbhavasamāveśa) that takes place through the most intense form of grace (atitīvraśaktipāta). In this liberated state all things are experienced as the nectar of one's own innate bliss
