(24th Chapter of Paramanndatantram being an exposition of the Path of Self-realization) Dedicated to the Sadhakas of Yoga, Vedanta, Srividya and Self-enquiry Text in Samskrta with Translation and Notes by Samvid based on the commentary of Maheswaranandantha This important work forming part of Paramanandatantram is held as an authoritative treatise on Srividya worship the most important branch of the Sakta tradition. Like most other tantrika works, it is in the form of a conversation between Siva and his Consort Devi. Mahesvaranandanatha wrote an excellent and extensive commentary on this esoteric work of the Srividya tradition in the Kali Year 4929 (177 years ago). Mahesvaranandanatha, being a full initiate of the Srividya School and a great scholar, has given the authentic interpretation of the entire work (consisting of 3322 Verses). Though the work, consisting of 25 chapters is full of ritualistic details the 24th Ullasa containing 219 Verses and titled "Adhyatma-kathana" gives a concise but complete account of the knowledge which liberates the sadhaka and the means to realize it so that the ultimate purpose of Srividya worship can be achieved by the sadhaka in his or her life time. MaheSvaranandaniUha's detailed commentary is an invaluable guide to the understanding of this crowning chapter of the work.
