Abhinava is also considered the greatest Exegetical Theologian of the Shaiva tradition in the Mediaeval period. A prolific and Polymath ic writer, he authored dozens of works, only some of which survive to the present day. Weaving together citations from dozens of authoritative Scriptures , his monumental encyclopedic work the ''Tantraaloka'' or ''Light on the Tantra s'' is one of the greatest accomplishments in Indian theology. Its discourse moves amongst the realms of rigorous Logic al philosophy, scripturally-grounded theology, and personal Mystical experience. It influenced theological thought and the understanding of the inner meaning of ritual in the '' Shaiva '' and '' Shakta '' spheres for centuries afterward. Nearly all of Abhinavagupta's extant religious writings are published in the Kashmir Series Of Texts And Studies and available in Sanskrit . EXTERNAL LINKS
