## Reading (machine draft, verse-mapped)

**tsa-a01-v01** — Mother — stainless art's abode, great new creation, full-bodied; Father — his five faces' splendor hidden: may the Heart, born of the surging nature of their embrace, the deathless kin beyond the highest, flash forth for me.
**tsa-a01-v02** — The Tantrāloka is vast, and no one at all can dive it; so hear this Tantrasāra, composed in plain words.
**tsa-a01-v03** — This lotus-heart of Abhinavagupta, its narrowness gone by the light shed from the falling feet of Śambhunātha the Sun — gather it for the sake of the Great Lord's worship.
**tsa-a01-v04** — Here knowledge is the cause of liberation, since it opposes ignorance, the cause of bondage. Ignorance is twofold: located in the intellect, and personal. The intellect-located is doubt-natured and wrong-conviction-natured. The personal is thought-natured and contracted-manifestation-natured — and that itself is the root cause of saṃsāra, as will be taught under the determination of the stains. There, personal ignorance may be removed by initiation and the rest — but initiation itself is impossible while intellect-located, determination-less ignorance persists, since initiation is preceded by determination of shun-and-take and takes the form of principle-purification and Śiva-joining. Hence determinative, intellect-abiding knowledge is principal; practiced, that itself kills personal ignorance too, since thought-consciousness-practice ends in thought-free. For the self — consciousness-light uncontracted by thought — is Śiva-natured. Hence in all cases adopt all-thing-directed right-determination knowledge. And that is scripture-led: scripture authoritative only as Lord-spoken, since others' scripture-taught things are accepted there discriminatively and since there is reason-proved exposition beyond their content. Hence other-āgama-taught knowledge liberates only so far from bondage, not from all; from all liberates the Lord's scripture, five-streamed, ten-eighteen-eight-differentiated. Than all that, the essence is the sixfold scriptures; than those, the Mālinīvijaya — whose contained content, gathered, is impossible to expound. Nor is there freedom or liberating power for one whose thing-nature is unexpounded, since only pure knowledge is so-natured. Since the supreme goal is rooted in well-practiced knowledge, for its success this is begun. Ignorance, declared bondage-cause in scripture, is called stain; at the rise of the digit of full knowledge, all that goes rootless. When self-consciousness rises with remainderless destroyed stains — liberation too. Hence by this man, with scripture, I reveal entirely whatever knowable reality there may be.
**tsa-a01-v05** — Here own-nature alone is supremely adoptable: light-nature of all things, since non-light cannot be nature. And it is not many, since no other natures enter light and natures do not differ; place and time too do not divide it, since they too are light-natured. Hence one light alone — and it is consciousness, since consciousness is of the nature of thing-manifestation; here for all there is no dispute. And that light is not dependent, since being-illumined is dependence, since illuminedness needs another light, and since no other light at all exists. Hence autonomous is the one light, and through autonomy alone, free from limitation by place, time, and form, all-pervading, eternal, of all-form-formless-nature. Of it autonomy is bliss-power; its wonder is will-power; light-nature is consciousness-power; grasp is knowledge-power; all-form-fitness is action-power. Thus though endowed with chief powers, really will-knowledge-action-powered, unlimited, the light resting in its own bliss is Śiva-natured. He alone, through autonomy manifesting self contracted, is called atom. And again he manifests own self autonomously — whereby he shines as unlimited-light-Śiva-nature itself. There too, through autonomy, he manifests own self without means or with means; and with means — will, knowing, or action as approach: hence threefoldness of immersion by śāmbhava-śākta-āṇava distinction. Therein all four forms too, in order, here are taught. The self, light-bodied, this Śiva, autonomous — by autonomy-play's force having hidden own nature, which again would spread forth full, that by sequence-nosequence force or threefold.
