This page relates ‘Copyright page’ of the English translation of the Cidvilasastava by Amrtananda (fl. 1325-1375 C.E.). This work combines the ritualistic worship of Shrividya with the philosophy of non-dualism, influenced by Pratyabhijna Shaivism. More specifically, the Cidvilasa-Stava outlines and provides the non-dual Bhavanas (i.e., creative contemplations that fuse the mind with reality) for several important steps in the ritual worship of Tripurasundari.
