In the present volume the second half of the only extant fragment of the Nirvāṇaṭīkā, a commentary on the Nirvāṇaprakaraṇa, the sixth section of the Mokṣopāya, is critically edited, thereby concluding the work undertaken a few years ago. There are two traditions of transmission of this text: the older, to which the text was known precisely under the title of MU, made use prevalently of the Śāradā script and is connected to the Mokṣopāyaṭīkā, a commentary by Bhāskarakaṇṭha (18th century), which includes the above-mentioned Nirvāṇaṭīkā; the more recent, to which the text was known under the title of Yogavāsiṣṭha, was characterized by the predominant use of the Devanāgarī script and is connected to the Vāsiṣṭhamahārāmāyaṇa-tātparyaprakāśa, a commentary by Ānandabodhendra Sarasvatī (17th-18th century) . As for the doctrine, the Mokṣopāya/Yogavāsiṣṭha revolves around the idea of cidākāśa, “space of consciousness”, the all-pervasive principle that is absolute, inasmuch as it is consciousness (cit), and at the same time empty, inasmuch as it is space (ākāśa) . This vision shows obvious contact points with the non-dualist Śaiva tradition of Kashmir, the Śūnyavāda and the Vijñānavāda, although in actual fact the work does not declare an affiliation with those currents or schools, nor can its doctrine be simply assimilated to any of them . Nevertheless, the Śaiva tradition will eventually view the Mokṣopāya as a part of itself. The Introduction concentrates on how the characteristics of Bhāskarakaṇṭha’s Nirvāṇaṭīkā reveal a fabric that depends on a context of aurality . More generally, it shows how a Sanskrit literary genre, that of commentary, can be viewed as an expression of aurality . The concept of aurality helps clarify certain characteristics of this genre that otherwise would remain unexplained or be attributed to randomness. The Brahmanic Sanskrit culture embodies a specific kind of ‘aurality’, which can be described as ‘aurality par excellence’. The Introduction will address some general features of the above-mentioned genre, supposing that these features depend precisely on an aural core.
