Subject: The reinterpretation of Bhartṛhari in Kashmir Śaivism

Supervisor: Prof. Yigal Bronner

Abstract: My research deals with the unique status of Bhartṛhari, philosopher and grammarian of the 5th century CE, in the writings of a lineage of scholars from Kashmir of the 10-11th centuries (Mainly Somānanda, Utpaladeva, and Abhinavagupta). I examine the ways in which these scholars reinterpreted Bhartṛhari's ideas and terminology in their texts, which, I hope, will shed light on an interesting link in the history of Indian thought and religion.
