Pariniṣpanna

Pariniṣpanna (devanāgarī: परिनिष्पन्न) is a Sanskrit term meaning "developed, perfect, real, existing."

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. Sooner or later, all that now seemingly exists, will be in reality and actually in the state of Paranishpanna.

During pralaya everything reverts to this state. When experienced consciously, this state can be defined as one of "bliss". But beings can also remain in paranishpanna in an unconscious state:

The condition of Paranishpanna, without Paramârtha, the Self-analysing consciousness (Svasamvedana), is no bliss, but simply extinction (for Seven Eternities). . . . It is only “with a mind clear and undarkened by personality, and an assimilation of the merit of manifold existences devoted to being in its collectivity (the whole living and sentient Universe),” that one gets rid of personal existence, merging into, becoming one with, the Absolute, and continuing in full possession of Paramârtha.
