Yoga Spandakarika: The Sacred Texts at the Origins of Tantra 

by Daniel Odier

Inner Traditions, Rochester, Vermont, 2004        175 pages

Having been revealed at the beginning of the ninth century by Shiva to Vasugupta, or to say it more directly, having gushed forth like a spring from Vasugupta's own heart, it presents the essence of the Tantras in fifty-two marvelously elliptical stanzas. (p.2)
