Isvarapratyabhijnakarika, Utpaladeva's foundational Kashmir Shaiva philosophical treatise, is the primary text establishing the Pratyabhijna school's core argument for recognizing the self's identity with the divine. Its strength is that it is the primary source itself, in the founding philosopher's own formulation. Its limit is that no firmly fixed date attaches to the composition and this record does not invent one; a claim about the text's philosophical argument is safest read alongside a modern scholarly translation and commentary.
