This revelation initiated the hermeneutics of synthesis and exegesis climaxed by the great Abhinavagupta.

As a book on yoga, it explains the nature and cause of bondage and the means to liberation from bondage. To Bhaskara’s commentary, the author has added his translation of an anonymous commentary as an aid to understanding Bhaskara’s interpretation. This anonymous writer also serves as a bridge between Ksemaraja’s and Bhaskara’s commentaries, drawing from both. The commentary on each sutra is thus in three layers. Bhaskara’s commentary is first, followed by the anonymous commentary; after which Dyczkowski adds his own exposition and compares Bhaskara and Ksemaraja.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Retail Maharaj","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49720146723120,"sku":"IndicaBookVaranasi_8186569073","price":336.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/retail-maharaj-book-default-title-aphorisms-of-siva-the-the-siva-sutra-with-bhaskara-s-commentary-the-varttika-40647150436656.jpg?v=1775979140","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/aphorisms-of-siva-the-the-siva-sutra-with-bhaskaras-commentary-the-varttika","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
