For the reader ready to go past the foundations. Primary Sources, Vol. II: Advanced Texts assembles nine of the most demanding and rewarding texts of the contemplative traditions in a single portable volume: the Yoga Sūtras with Vyāsa's Bhāṣya; the four core Trika / Kashmir Śaivism collections - Śiva Sūtras, Spanda Kārikās, Pratyabhijñāhṛdayam, and the Vijñānabhairava Tantra; Gauḍapāda's Māṇḍūkya Kārikās; and two Śākta tantric texts.

Verse and sūtra numbering follow standard academic convention. Where the best modern translations remain in copyright, the volume gives the Sanskrit in transliteration with gloss and directs the reader to the recommended secondary literature - full copyright transparency for course adoption.

Made for the seminar room. A dedicated section for professors maps the texts to courses in Philosophy of Mind, Consciousness Studies, Kashmir Śaivism, and Hindu Tantra; the tantric material is rendered faithfully rather than sanitized, as a primary-source reader should be. The advanced companion to Primary Sources, Vol. I in The Essential Way.
