The Paramarthasara, "The Essence of the Supreme Truth" is a metrical composition of 105 verses. The author of the original Sanskrit, the great tenth century Kashmiri scholar and sage Abhinavagupta, blended the schools of philosophical and religious thought current in Kashmir at that time and reformulated them in a masterful and beautiful way from the point of view of monistic Shaivism. The extended commentary that accompanies the text here is by his eleventh century disciple, Yogaraja, Abhinavagupta composed this work for spiritual seekers as an introduction to the teachings of the nondual Shaivism of Kashmir. Teaching from within that religious and philosophical stance, he poetically expounds on the universal nature of Shiva as the supreme Lord, and describes key experiences, such as that of spiritual liberation.
