The Heart of the Yogini

...might be from the Sanketapaddhati. This matter has also been noted in the commentary. The Jnanakarika 1. The verse "Pinde muktah" etc., cited in the Dipika (p. 323), is said to be from the Jnanakarika (14.5), but it is not available there. is included in Dr. Prabodh Chandra Bagchi's edition of the Kaulajnananirnaya. Passages from the Upanishads are cited under the name Vedarahasya, and from Kalidasa's Raghuvamsha and Kumarasambhava under the name of the "great poet."

Tendency of the Tripura Tradition

Regarding the tendency of the Tripura tradition, Shivananda states that it first originated in Kashmir, but the Kashmiri scholar Jayaratha 2. "Because the tradition originated in Kashmir" (Rijuvimarshini, p. 114). says that Ishvarashiva and Vishvavarta first brought this doctrine to Kashmir 3. "In reality, these two teachers were the ones who brought this philosophy to Kashmir" (Vamakesvarivivarna, p. 48).. We have already stated that Dharmacharya, the author of the Laghustava (hymn), was a resident of Bhrigukaccha modern-day Bharuch, and King Bhoja had witnessed the influence of Dipakanatha 4. See Agama and Tantrashastra, pp. 86–87., the author of the (Tripurasundari)-Dandaka. Jayaratha 5. "The great teacher, the glorious Dipakanatha, the author of the Dandaka, whose brilliance was witnessed by King Bhojadeva" (Riju, p. 223). considers Dipakanatha to be the first commentator on the Nityashodashikarnava. It is our view that this tradition reached Kashmir from Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, and then from there to the southern regions. We see that Madhuraja Yogi, the author of the Gurunathaparamarsha a text concerning the lineage of teachers, who resided in the southern region, arrived in Kashmir during the lifetime of Abhinavagupta. He took the knowledge acquired there back to the south, and later this knowledge expanded in the south. Teachers like Shivananda from the south consider themselves successors to the knowledge obtained through the lineage of Siddhas like Dharmacharya and Dipakanatha, which is known as Ogha or Ovalli. It seems they received this lineage from Kashmir. That is why they believe the tradition originated in Kashmir. Punyananda and Amritananda also belong to the lineage of Shivananda, Vidyananda, etc. Therefore, their location should be considered to be in the southern region, not Kashmir. The belief that Punyananda and Amritananda were Kashmiris requires re-examination.

Today, there is a tendency to connect the non-dualistic Shaiva philosophy to Kashmir and the dualistic Shaiva philosophy to the south. It is true that the non-dualistic Pratyabhijna recognition philosophy...
