The Recognition of the Lord (??varapratyabhijñ?) by the Kashmirian Utpaladeva (c. 925-975) is a landmark in the history of nondual ?aivism, and one of the masterpieces of Indian philosophy. The detailed commentary (Viv?ti) on it by the author himself was so far considered almost entirely lost, but three chapters of this major work were recently recovered from marginal annotations in manuscripts of other commentaries on Utpaladeva's treatise. The book provides the first critical edition, annotated translation and study of one of these chapters, which endeavours to justify a fundamental paradox of the system-namely, the idea that ?iva (understood as an infinite, omniscient, and omnipotent consciousness) has a dynamic essence since the core of consciousness is a subtle form of action, and yet is by no means limited by the temporal and spatial sequence that affects all ordinary acts and agents.
