Pariniṣpanna (devanāgarī: परिनिष्पन्न) is a Sanskrit term meaning "developed, perfect, real, existing."[1]
H. P. Blavatsky, (who used the spelling "paranishpanna") defined it as follows:
Paranishpanna, remember, is the summum bonum, the Absolute, hence the same as Paranirvana. Besides being the final state it is that condition of subjectivity which has no relation to anything but the one absolute truth (Para-mârthasatya) on its plane. It is that state which leads one to appreciate correctly the full meaning of Non-Being, which, as explained, is absolute Being.[2]
