Mokṣopāya-Ṭīkā of Bhāskarakaṇṭha. The Fragments of the Nirvāṇaprakaraṇa. Part I. Critical Edition

The volume contains the critical edition of the first half of the large extant fragment of the Nirvāṇaprakaraṇa - the sixth section of the Mokṣopāya, the last and by far the most substantial - with Bhāskarakaṇṭha's commentary Nirvāṇaṭikā. The Mokṣopāya, a huge philosophico-soteriological work probably composed by a Kashmiri author in the tenth century of our era, was the original version of what would become the Yogavāsiṣṭha, which enjoyed enormous popularity in India, in certain regions second only to the two great epic poems. Bhāskarakaṇṭha (17th century), the commentator, is one of the last great non-dualist Śaivite masters from Kashmir.
