Introduction to Tantra Sastra - Aghori

ABHI Ṣ EKA 71
guru (with whom he must constantly reside, and whose
instructions he must receive direct), he does the pañcaṇga-yoga—that
is, the last five limbs of the aṣṭ anga.
He is thereafter qualified for pūrṇ a-dikṣābhisekā, sometimes
called virāja-grahaṇ ābhiseka. On the attainment
of perfection in this last grade, the sādhaka performs
his own funeral rites (śrāddha), makes pūrnāhuti with
his sacred thread and crown lock. The relation of guru
and Siṣya now ceases. From this point he ascends by
himself until he realizes the great saying, So’hām (“I am
He”). At this stage, which the Tantra calls jīvan-mukta
(liberated whilst yet living) he is called parama-haṃsa.
