58 Paramārthasāra of Abhinavagupta He may or may not perform them. It does not make any differ- ence for him. मद-हर्षप्रभृतिरयं वर्ग प्रभवति विभेदसम्मोहात् । अद्वैतात्मविबोधस्तेन कथं स्पृश्यतां नाम ॥ ७२ ॥ 72. Mada-harṣa-prabhṛtirayaṁ vargaḥ prabhavati vibheda-sammohāt Advaitātma-vibodhas tena kathaṁ spṛśyatāṁ nāma. The group of emotions like intoxication, joy etc. rises out of delusion caused by the viewpoint of diversity. How can it touch a person having the revelation of the monistic self? A yogin, who sees only his self in each and every phenomenon, does not come under the effects of emotions like pleasure, pain etc. Even if such emotions appear in him, these can not touch his inner self shining beyond all diversity of mental and physical existence. स्तुत्यं वा होतव्यं नास्ति व्यतिरिक्तमस्य किञ्चन च । स्तोत्रादिना स तुष्येन्मुक्तस्तन्निर्नमस्कृतिवषट्कः ॥ ७३ ॥ 73. Stutyaṁ vā hotavyaṁ nāsti vyatiriktamasya kiñcana ca Stotrādinā sa tuṣyen- muktas tannirnamaskṛti-vaṣaṭkaḥ. Having none other prayable or worshipable besides him whom he could please by praying etc., the liberated one has neither to pay any salutation nor to offer any oblations to any one. It is not obligatory for a liberated person to pray or to offer oblations to any deity because he does not see anywhere any one other than his own self. But such performances are not totally prohibited for him. He is free to perform them as his spiritual play. He may perform them just to establish an ideal for the common man and very often a yogin does it to set a good example for others. षट्त्रिंशत्तत्त्वभृतं विग्रहरचनागवाक्षपरिपूर्णम् । निजमन्यदथ शरीरं घटादि वा तस्य देवगृहम् ॥ ७४ ॥ 74. Ṣaṭtriṁśat-tattva-bhṛtaṁ vigraha-racanā-gavākṣa-paripūrṇam Nijamanyadatha śarīraṁ ghaṭādi vā tasya deva-gṛham.
