Anuraṇana (अनुरणन) refers to the “final resonance”, according to Kṣemarāja in his commentaries on the Netratantra and the Svacchandabhairavatantra, which is well known to the Kubjikā Tantras.—The ‘End of Sound’ (nādānta) corresponds to the stage in which Sound dissolves into Energy, which is the following stage and the point of entry into the principle of Power (śaktitattva). It is said to be like the final resonance (anuraṇana) of a bell that can be faintly distinguished just before the sound of it ceases completely. It is also said to be like the sound of running water because, even though there is no physical sound, the ‘resonance’ of the energy of consciousness is rapid and indistinct. At this stage Śiva has a global consciousness of the universe that resides within Him, and is pervaded by the evanescent vibration of the End of Sound. Here the unity of the aggregate of phonemic energies, made manifest as the End of Sound, is full of the power of the supreme form of Speech from which it issues forth.
