Consider the following statements : 1. Abhinavagupta wrote a comprehensive treatise called the Tantraloka which systematically presents the teachings of the Kula and Trika systems 2. The Samaraichchakaha by Haribhadra Suri written in Gujarat around the eighth century is technically not a tantric work but is saturated with tantric ideas and practices Which of the statements given above is / are correct ?

Statement 1 is correct as Abhinavagupta, a prominent philosopher of Kashmir Shaivism, authored the 'Tantraloka'. This monumental work systematically synthesizes the teachings of various Agamic schools, specifically focusing on the Trika and Kula systems. It is considered a comprehensive guide to the intricacies of Tantra. Statement 2 is also correct. Haribhadra Suri, a prolific Jain scholar active in the 8th century (likely in the Gujarat/Rajasthan region), wrote the 'Samaraichchakaha'. While primarily a Jain narrative (dharmakatha) intended to illustrate the law of karma, the text is deeply influenced by the prevailing cultural atmosphere of its time. It contains numerous descriptions of tantric rituals, mantras, and practices, reflecting how tantric ideas had permeated non-tantric religious literature during the early medieval period. Thus, both statements accurately describe the respective works and their contexts.
