Muktimārga (मुक्तिमार्ग) refers to the “path of liberation”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “(Kaula’s) will is the energy (śakti) that has come forth (from it) and is Kaulinī whose form is the sprout (of creation). She is the goddess Parā, the (female) Neuter who is the Mother of (all) the systems. She is the (ultimate) end of the path of liberation (muktimārga). She is (also) the supreme aggregate (of energies), which is (the condition) without (any ultimate) end (and is binding)”.
