첹첹ṇṭ (भास्करकण्ठ) (or Rājanaka 첹첹ṇṭ) is the author of the Cittānubodhaśāstra: an 18th century text dealing with aspects of Kashmir Śaivism such as the Pratyabhijñā (lit. “divine recognition�) philosophical branch.—첹첹ṇṭ� wrote the text keeping in mind the works of his predecessors, the great Ācāryas of Kashmir Śaivism, Somānanda, Utpaladeva, Abhinavagupta, Kṣemarāja and others. He has dealt with all the important topics of the tradition. Rājanaka 첹첹ṇṭ was an erudite scholar. He wrote an elaborate commentary on the great Sanskrit work Yogavāsiṣṭha, called Mokṣopāya Ṭīkā, consisting of one lakh and ten thousand Ślokas (i.e., 110,000 verses), according to his own information. [...] Rājanaka 첹첹ṇṭ has commented upon the Īśvarapratyabhijñā Vimarśini in his Bhāskarī which has been published in the Sarasvati Bhawan Studies Varanasi by K. C. Pandey. Besides he has prepared a Sanskrit translation in verse form of the sayings in Kashmiri (Vākh) by the great saint Lalleśvarī, published under the title Lalleśvarīvāk. We also find a reference to an independent stotra Harṣeśvarastava. The last work of 첹첹ṇṭ was the Cittānubodhaśāstra which consists of about 5000 ślokas and contains both the philosophy and the practice of Kashmir Shaivism.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
