The Stavacintami of Bhatta Narayana (late 9th early 10th century CE) is a devotional stotra dedicated to the praise and worship of Siva and his power (sakti), who is responsible for creation, maintenance, and dissolution. The stotra is an outpouring of the state of the mature mind of one who practiced, experienced, internalized, and lived this system of monistic Saivism. 

Ksemaraja's commentary is intended to reveal the esoteric meanings of the original devotional text while simultaneously integrating this work into the canon of nondual Saivism. His lucid commentarial style focuses on translating Bhatta Narayana's poetic devotional verses into the terminology of yogic states and experiences based on the Pratyabhijna monistic philosophy.
