Additional information

This paper is a modified and improved version of my paper read in the International Seminar on Abhinavagupta held in October 1981 at B.H.U., Varanasi (India).

Abhinavagupta was a tenth century stalwart and doyen of Kashmir Śaivism, aesthetics and dramaturgy. Here we are concerned with him as a philosopher of the School of Recognition. His major works include the Tantrāloka Ī'svarapratyabhijñāvimarśinī, Ī'svarapratyabhijñāvivrtivimarśinī, Dhvanyālokalocana and Abhinavabhāratī on the Nātya-śāstra of Bharata.
