Kashmir Shaivism ~ Anuttarāṣṭikā by Abhinavagupta ~ Trika Shaivism

The anuttarāṣṭikā is a hymn of eight (aṣṭikā) verses by
Abhinavagupta, on the method of anupāya (no method) in the light
of the highest reality/supreme –anuttara.  The teaching on
anupāya, as elaborated in this hymn, have been revered by
Kashmir Shaiva Pandits since their inception by Shaiva Master
Abhinavagupta, who devoted the second chapter of his magnum opus
– Tantrāloka – to the method (upāya) known as anupāya, which
literally means ‘no method’. Abhinavagupta (c. 950 – 1016 ) was a
philosopher, mystic and aesthetician from Kashmir. He was also
considered an influential musician, poet, dramatist, exegete,
theologian, and logician – a polymathic personality who exercised
strong influences on Indian culture.
