परमार्थसार (महामाहेश्वर अभिनवगुप्त - त्रिक-दर्शन, अद्वैत शैव साधना एवं सान्वय सटीक)

Paramārthasāra of Abhinavagupta 59 Either his own body or that of any one else, being consisted of thirty-six tattvas, and being fully equipped with organic outlets as its windows, or even an object like a pitcher, is his temple where to worship. Such a yogin sees his infinite, all pervasive and pure I-conscious- ness as the only worshipable deity and finds it in all bodies and all outward objects, all of which can serve him as the temples where to worship such deity. तत्र च परमात्म-महा-भैरव-शिव-देवतां स्वशक्तियुताम् । आत्मामर्शन-विमल-द्रव्यैः परिपूजयन्नास्ते ॥ ७५ ॥ 75.

Several other methods of such worship that will follow are also symbolic in character. बहिरन्तरपरिकल्पन-भेदमहाबीजनिचयमर्पयतः । तस्यातिदीप्तसंविज्ज्वलने यत्नाद्विना भवति होमः ॥ ७६ ॥ 76. Bahirantara-parikalpana- bheda-mahā-bīja-nicayamarpayataḥ Tasyāti-dīpta-samvijjvalane yatnād vinā bhavati homaḥ. His automatic homa goes on by means of the offerings of the huge grain heaps of diversity, appearing as the conceptions of interior and exterior objects, into the highly blazing fire of pure consciousness.
