Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)

: Brill: 艢aivism and the Tantric Traditions

厂补峁僾颈诲谤补蝉补 (啶膏�傕さ啶苦う啷嵿ぐ啶�) refers to the 鈥渆lixir of Awareness鈥� (i.e., 鈥榓utonomous dynamic consciousness鈥�), according to the 莫艣varapratyabhij帽膩viv峁泃ivimar艣in墨 (KSTS vol. 65, 327鈥�331).鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淲hen, further, these elements of pr膩峁嘺, body, etc., [already] penetrated by the elixir of Awareness (蝉补峁僾颈诲谤补蝉补), are thoroughly permeated [by it], they are [then] 鈥榙igested鈥� like the element of gold [is by mercury], by which [process] their purifier, the 鈥榣iquefied essence鈥� [of Awareness] as it were, alone remains鈥攖hen that too is the state Beyond the Fourth鈥�.

Note: The process goes like this: having inundated/penetrated (viddha) the objective layers of self-hood (body etc.) with the 鈥渆lixir鈥� of one鈥檚 ultimate nature (i.e., 蝉补峁僾颈诲-谤补蝉补, autonomous dynamic consciousness), the 鈥済old鈥� hidden within them is extracted, i.e. their dependence on consciousness as their substrate is revealed. When those layers have become completely permeated (补产丑颈苍颈惫颈峁ａ弓补鈥�补产丑颈苍颈惫颈峁ａ弓辞'迟测补苍迟补峁�), through, one presumes, further spiritual practice, all trace of their objectivity (and the 蝉补峁僺办腻谤补蝉 thereof) is 鈥渨orn away鈥� or 鈥渄igested鈥� (箩墨谤峁嘺) by the elixir of consciousness鈥攁s mercury eats up gold flakes鈥攚hich thus becomes a single unitary mass of awareness (鈥�prak膩艣a-ghanam eva sa峁僾idr奴pam鈥�, cited infra).
