Tantrasāra

Our own translation, paragraph by paragraph.

आह्निकानि

The Āhnikas आह्निक

The whole Tantrasāra — twenty-two āhnikas that condense the thirty-seven of the Tantrāloka, opening with the nature of knowledge and of the self that is pure light. सम्पूर्ण तन्त्रसार — बाईस आह्निक, जिनमें तन्त्रालोक के सैंतीस आह्निक संक्षेप में आ गए हैं; आरम्भ ज्ञान के स्वरूप और प्रकाशरूप आत्मा से होता है।
