Shiva Sutras: The Supreme Awakening
Regarding the incomplete footnote on page 11 of – Shiva Sutras the Supreme Awakening. Anāśritaśiva is that state of Shiva where universal existence is excluded from his own nature because of the apprehension that universality will lessen the consciousness and bliss of His own nature. This state of Anāśritaśiva is explained in more detail in the second paragraph on page 97 (sutra 2.7 commentary) where it is related to the word ūnatā (lit., lessening).
