Trikadarśana (त्रिकदर्शन) refers to the “Trika system”, according to Kṣemarāja’s Pratyabhijñāhṛdaya.—Trika is referred to as a darśana several times in Kashmiri Śaiva sources. In his commentary on the eighth aphorism of the Pratyabhijñāhṛdaya, for example, Kṣemarāja says that Trikadarśana is the highest form of monism (paramādvaya). Similarly, although Maheśvarānanda, distinguishes between the Trika and Krama as two darśanas, he maintains that because of their common monistic idealism, there is not much difference between them. In this case, by Trika is meant a philosophical system. Jayaratha goes so far as to identify the teachers of the Trikadarśana as those of the Pratyabhijñā, which is in form and content a typical Indian philosophical system.
