Book Description

September 1989
This is a long commentary on a short Tantra. One of the most authoritative and venerated texts in Kashmir Shaivism, it deals with the nature of Ultimate Reality and with methods of realization focusing on the theory and practice of Mantra. Abhinavagupta presents his metaphysics of language, of the World (Vak), and its relation to consciousness. He calls it 'the teaching of the secret of the Trika doctrine.'
