When the great Siddha Sri Svatnatrandanatha was ordered by Lord Siva to correlate Matrkas (Sanskrta alphabet) with Yoga marga, he started doing so on the basis of Mahesvara sutras. Being failed to do, so he went into a cave of hill top called as Kankacala and started his penance by the result of which a Sri Yantra incarnated from sky and Siddha was able to understand this secret. The Siddha seer found that Matrkas are classified in four states called Jagrata or Awaken state; Svapna or Dream state, Susupti or Deep sleep state and Turiya or Fourth state and above all is Turiyatita state which is house of all. He explored that they all are related to each other in a way that they reveal the secret of evolution and liberation of living being and secrets of Lord Siva and Sri Lalita Tripurasundari. He explained all this by the help of Sutras.
Being divided into five chapters, first four chapters of this book keep saying that Lord Siva’s power is frigid in nature however as he writes fifth chapter, he reveals a secret which is no less than a great suspense of this entire work.
With great command on subject, great seer had compile the entire mystic relation of Sri Lalita Tripura Sundari, Sri Yantra, Matrka, Lord Siva, Sakti, living being, four states with fifth one, prameya, pramana and pramata and this world in such a beautiful manner that it looks more a Tantrika symphony than a Tantrika book.
The commentary of this work is lucid and is unique in nature because this commentary is without any excerpt from other books and is only based on the experiences of Yogis which is called as darsana and not philosophy. Being translated in English along with various diagrams and tables, this Kasmiri Mantra Sastra, is rare and only work of its type and is a must readout for those who want to know how mantras work.
