Description

The Tantrāloka by Abhinavagupta (c. 975-1050) is undoubtably one of the world's great classics. Treating the whole range of early Śaiva Tantras as part of the Trika Śaivism Abhinavagupta systematically and extensively presents, he draws from all of them to enrich his marvelous and uniquely profound exposition. The result of decades of research, Dyczkowski provides along with his translation of the text and its commentary by Jayaratha, extensive explanatory notes drawn from a wide range of Sanskrit and other sources. These volumes are a must for anyone who is studying Tantra in general and, in particular, the Trika Śaivism of Kashmir. Volume Eight is chapter fifteen of the Tantrāloka, which is largely drawn from chapter eight of the Mālinīvijayottara, which Abhinava reproduces entirely and comments on it in great detail. It is especially important as it presents the rite of initiation to the basic condition of a Trika Śaiva, that is, as one who has vowed to observe the pledges (samaya). Serving first as the purifying rite of initiation, the initiate continues to perform a modified form of the rite on a regular (nitya) daily basis. The focus is on the worship of the triadic deity of the Trika, namely, the goddesses Parā, Parāparā and Aparā who are seated on their Bhairavas in lotuses situated on the prongs of the Trika Trident. From the bulb at the base of the Trident, to the tips of its prongs, it extends for all the thirty-six reality levels and beyond into the thirty-seventh, which is Supreme Śiva otherwise known as Supreme Bhairava upon. The Goddess Kālasaṃkarṣiṇī as the thirty-eighth is the Inexplicable, the highest reality of all. Worshipped externally in the maṇḍala and inwardly in the subtle body, the Vidyās and Mantras of the Trident that mark the ascent through it and the worship of the deities and their attendants on it, are collected together in the appendix of this volume. The chapter concludes with a presentation of the pledges taught in a series of major Trika, Krama and Bhairava Tantras.
