Atipraśānta (अतिप्रशान्�) refers to a “perfectly peaceful condition�, according to Arṇasiṃha’s Mahānayaprakāśa verse 134.—Accordingly, “The Śāmbhava (state) is the one in which the power of consciousness (citi) suddenly (󲹲) dissolves away into the Great Void called the Inactive (Ծḥs貹Ի岹) that is profound and has no abode. Cognitive awareness (ñԲ) arises here in the form of a subtle wave of consciousness out of that ocean of emptiness, which is the perfectly peaceful condition [i.e., پśԳٲ] of the dissolving away of destruction. [...] Again, that same (principle) free of the cognitive process (ṃvٳپ첹) is the supreme absolute (niruttara) said to be the Śāmbhava state of emptiness (dzś峾󲹱)�.
