  Summary: Thomas Matus "Heart Yoga: A Comparison of Two Texts
The author of the Pratyabhijna-hridayam was Rajanaka Kshemaraja, disciple of the great Kashmiri-Shaiva master Abhinavagupta, a contemporary of Saint Romuald.
Kshemaraja alludes to this moment, citing a text of the Kashmiri tradition:

Kshemaraja asserts that the teachings from Spandakarika are the fundamental secret text itself of shivagama, that is, of the doctrine of this spiritual system.
Indeed, it seems that Kshemaraja’s first written work was a commentary to the first aphorism from Spandarika which he named “The essence of the Supreme Divine Vibration (Resonance)” (Spandasamdoha).

As Kshemaraja puts it, it is the essential nature of Siva and also that of the empirical individual.
It is only the divine Spandasakti which, though free of succession, appears in different aspects as if flashing in view and as if subsiding."
