The Netra Tantra (NT), the âTantra of the Eyeâ, is a text from Kashmir dated to the early-ninth-century CE. As such, it is later than the core of the better-known Svacchanda Tantra (SvT), another Kashmirian Tantra, which dates from no later than the seventh century. The NT is nonetheless referenced by Abhinavagupta, and a comprehensive commentary on the work was authored by his disciple Ká¹£emarÄja.
