Light on Tantra of Kashmir Shaivism, Abhinavagupta's Tantraloka Volume 3, Chapter Four

The Tantrāloka is a voluminous masterwork of the 10th century philosopher-saint, Abhinavagupta. It is a veritable encyclopedia of non-dual Shaivism, a spiritual treasure-trove containing a glorious synthesis of all the schools that make up Kashmir Shaivism, also known as Trika. This third volume contains an English translation of the fourth āhnika (chapter) of the Tantrāloka, dealing with śaktopāya, the means (upāya) pertaining to knowledge (jñāna) or cognition (pramāṇa) for the attainment of Universal God Consciousness.
