Dear list members,

 

 

The first verse of Abhinavagupta's Tantrasara:

 

vimalakalAzrayAbhinavasRSTimahA jananI

bharitatanuzca paJcamukhaguptarucirjanakaH |

tadubhayayAmalasphuritabhAvavisargamayaM

hRdayamanuttarAmRtakulaM mama saMsphuratAt ||

 

is also the first line of his parAtrIzikAvivaraNa ,

and I see from Rastogi's Introduction to the Tantraloka page 31 that this is

also the first verse of his Tantraloka and his

mAlinI-vijaya-vArtika.

 

Can any of the list members give some insight into why Abhinavagupta might

have started these four of his works with the same verse?

 

Many thanks,
