Vyāptimārga (व्याप्तिमार्ग) refers to the “Path of Pervasion”, according to Tantric texts such as the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] The gods then began to praise Bhairava again. He offers them a boon and they ask him for the Liṅga that “faces everywhere” (sarvatomukha) and the teaching that concerns the all-pervasive (vyāptibhūta) Liṅga. So he shows them the Path of Pervasion (vyāptimārga) after having fashioned the manifest Liṅga whose field are the qualities of the Six Paths. He showed them his body by means of the teaching concerning the Six Paths along which the universe, physical, metaphysical, energetic and the corresponding mantras and phonemes are emitted”.
