Abhinavagupta was a versatile genius. He was a philosopher, poet and logician. As an encyclopaedic thinker, as a brilliant commentator and as a devoted poet, he reigns supreme. He was prolific author. He wrote forty-five works covering various branches of philosophy and literature. His works are marked by originality and profundity. He founded new schools of Metaphysics and Aesthetics.
Abhinavagupta was a mystic and also a rationalist. He has significantly added new chapters to the history of India Aesthetics. His magnum opus the Tantraloka, his searching Locana on the Dhvanyaloka of Anandavardhana and his erudite commentary Abhinavabharati on the Natyasastra of Bharata Muni are monumental works.
Abhinavagupta’s contribution to the stotra literature has a distinct character and tenacious grip. His stotras have richness of thought, devotional fragrance, literary beauty and invigorating spirit. So the study of the storas of Abhinavagupta is rewarding. With this purpose, Dr. Shashi Shekhar Chaturvedi has translated Abhinava’s storas into English and Hindi under the title ‘Abhinavastoravalih’, which shows his genuine interest in the discipline.
I recommend the work to the students of literature and Kashmira Saivism and hope it will be well received.
