Pratyabhijñāhṛdayam ('The Heart of Self-Recognition') is an eleventh-century treatise written by Kashmiri philosopher Rajanaka Kṣemarāja.[1]

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).[2][3] Pratyabhijñāhṛdayam consists of 20 aphorisms plus a commentary by Kṣemarāja himself.[4]

It is considered to be an important text in Kashmir Shaivism.[5]
