Aviśaṅkita (अविशङ्कित) refers to “one who is carefree”, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “I will (now) tell (you) about the external deposition, as it is, in due order. (The adept) should wander carefree [i.e., aviśaṅkita] once he has recollected the teacher’s feet after having deposited the Ages and the sacred seats in the four directions of Earth and the fifth (sacred seat) called the ‘Outcaste’ (antyaja i.e. Mātaṇga the ‘Sweeper’) (above) on the upper path”.
