Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)

: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions

ٳ (अवस्था) or ʲñ屹ٳ refers to the “five mystic states�, as cited in the Īśvarapratyabhijñvimarśinī (KSTS vol. 65, 330).

They are:

  1. bliss (ԲԻ岹),
  2. ascent (udbhava),
  3. trembling (kampa),
  4. sleep (Ծ),
  5. whirling (ūṇi).

Note: Gnostic realization is here inseparably wedded to the pañcan-ٳ [貹ñ屹ٳ�] or Five Mystic States that we see repeatedly in the Kaula scriptures. This emphasis on direct experience (屹屹Բ) demonstrates that Abhinava’s understanding of the path of the ñī is not one of intellectual or conceptual realization, but rather one of insights into the nature of reality so powerful that they spontaneously bring on psychophysical experiences.
