Jaideva Singh · Motilal Banarsidass

English · Paperback · Edition: 9th reprint

Spandakarikas are a sort of commentary on the Siva-sutras.The word karika means a collection of verses on grammatical, philosophical or scientific subjects. The word spanda literally means a throb. It connotes dynamism or the dynamic aspect of the Divine. The Divine creative pulsation. The self, according to Spandakarikas, is not simply a witnessing consciousness, but is characterized by both cognition and activity. He who is in communion with this active self can alone rise to the status of his highest being.
