Śiṣyaprabodha (शिष्यप्रबोध) refers to the “awakening of one’s disciples”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] This natural, no-mind [state] has been taught thus [to Vāmadeva] directly by Śiva [himself] for the awakening of his disciples (śiṣyaprabodha). However, [the no-mind state] is eternal, aspectless, undifferentiated, not expressible by speech and can only be experienced by oneself alone. [...]”.
