Overview

The text elucidates the main tenets of the pratyabhijñā system in a succinct set of sutras, expounding the core of the philosophy and explaining how self-recognition arises within, culminating in the consciousness of 'Shivoham' (I am Shiva). Pratyabhijñāhṛdayam consists of 20 aphorisms plus a commentary by Kṣemarāja himself.

It is considered to be an important text in Kashmir Shaivism.
