Yugaparyanta (युगपर्यन्त) means “up to the end of the cosmic age”, according to the second recension of the Yogakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, as the God said to the Goddess, “Today be Bhadrakālī. (It is) I, Śaṃkara who has come. Mutually we play up to the end of the cosmic age [i.e., yugaparyanta]. (We are) mutually Rati and Kāma (for one another)”.
