'''Anupādaka''' is a word used in the [[Theosophy|Theosophical]] literature derived from the [[Sanskrit]] ''anupapādaka'' "parentless" or "having no material parent"<ref>[http://spokensanskrit.de/index.php?script=DI&beginning=0+&tinput=anupapAdaka&trans=Translate&direction=AU.# Anupapādaka] at Spoken Sanskrit Dictionary.</ref> or ''aupapaduka'', "self-produced". [[H. P. Blavatsky]] applied this term to the hierarchy of the [[Dhyāni-Buddhas]]:

<blockquote>“The one merged with the absolute,” can have no parents since he is Self-existent, and one with the Universal Spirit (Svayambhu), the Svâbhâvat in the highest aspect.  The mystery in the hierarchy of the Anupadaka is great, its apex being the universal Spirit-Soul, and the lower rung the Mânushi-Buddha; and even every Soul-endowed man is an Anupadaka in a latent state.<ref>Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, ''The Secret Doctrine'' vol. I, (Wheaton, IL: Theosophical Publishing House, 1993), 52.</ref></blockquote>
