Source: archive.org: Chittanubodha Shastram By Bhaskara KanthaCittānubodha (चित्तानुबोध) refers to “awakeing consciousness” and is a synonym of pratyabhijñā (“recognition”), according to the Cittānubodhaśāstra by Rājanaka Bhāskarakaṇṭha: an 18th century text dealing with aspects of Kashmir Śaivism such as the Pratyabhijñā (lit. “divine recognition”) philosophical branch.—Citta is the faculty of consciousness which enables the human being to reflect and to elevate himself from the limited. State of a creature (paśu), It is citta which makes reflection possible, from the ordinary worldly level to the reflection on the nature of the Supreme Reality. The Cittānubodhaśāstra has been written in order to elucidate this. Anubodha is composed of bodha, i.e., knowledge or enlightenment, and the prefix an, after. It therefore means “the knowledge which has been forgotten and which is again being awakened”. In other words, the natural knowledge of man’s own self has been forgotten and has to be brought back to him, that is cittānubodha, a synonym of pratyabhijñā, recognition.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
