Pariśīlana (परिशीलन) refers to the “pursuit” (of the new path), according to Utpaladeva’s Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikāvṛtti (on the Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikā verse 4.16).—Accordingly, “This new, direct path was foretold in the treatise entitled the Śivadṛṣṭi by the venerable Somānanda, whose very appearance is that of the great lord Parameśvara in front of one’s eyes; I have made it [i.e., this path] enter the heart(s) (of men) by furnishing a logical justification for it. By pursuing (pariśīlana) this [path] one becomes liberated in this very life, this as a result of being (fully) penetrated by Śiva-nature”.
