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.
Tantra (Sanskrit: à¤¤à¤¨à¥à¤¤à¥à¤°; literally loom, weave, system) denotes the esoteric traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism that co-developed most likely about the middle of 1st millennium CE. The term tantra, in the Indian traditions, also means any systematic broadly applicable text, theory, system, method, instrument, technique or practice.
