Yogopalabdhi (योगोपलब्धि) refers to “yogic perception”, according to the commentary on the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.— Accordingly, “(The reality) devoid of that [i..e, series of objects of knowledge] is the supreme expanse (parākāśa), the unmanifest. Yoga and the like, as well as the purification of the Sixfold Path (of manifestation) and the like, serve (only) as the instrumental cause (nimitta) of its perception (upalabdhi), that is, as the cause of its yogic perception (yogopalabdhi)”.
