In Hinduism

Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Viśrāma (विश्राम) or Viśrāmabhūmi refers to the “plane of repose”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Oḍḍiyāna enjoys pride of place at the centre of the goddess’s triangle. Here the energy of bliss rests on the plane of repose (viśrāma-bhūmi). This is the Śāmbhava plane. Beyond even the cessation of suffering attained by the realisation of Nirvāṇa, it is the ultimate end of all bondage. As the Point in the centre of the goddess’s Triangle, the First Seat contains all that is most essential of the entire maṇḍala. It is where the seed-syllable of the goddess is located, as is the goddess’s Vidyā, which, by extension, is itself said to be the first of the sacred seats
