##Notes:

Abhinavagupta ##abhinavagupta## eulogizes each of the ṢoḍaṣaRudraBija-s ##ShoDaSharudrabIjAH## sequentially in form of 16 Maṅgalaślokāḥ ##16 ma~NgalashlokAH## that he strategically positions in beginning of each of the 16 chapters respectively in his exposition called ĪśvaraPratyabhijñāVivṛitiVimarśinī ##Ishvarapratyabhij~nAvivR^itivimarshinI## on the composition by Utpaladeva ##utpaladeva## known as ĪśvaraPratyabhijñāKārikā ##Ishvarapratyabhij~nAkArikA##.

The collation of the 16 śloka-s ##16 shlokAH## is made for seamless reading and may have been named severally as interpreted by respective people and more so for convenience of understanding the concept. Here it is named as ŚoḍaśaRudraBijāmṛtaVandanā ##ShoDaSharudrabIjAmR^itavandanA##.

The ṢoḍaṣaRudraBija-s ##ShoDaSharudrabIjAH## correspond to the ṢodaṣaSvarāḥ ##ShoDashasvarAH## (16 vowels) i.e. BījaVarṇāḥ ##bIjavarNAH## of the Varṇamālā ##varNamAlA## (pertaining to the Mātṛkā ##mAtR^ikA## and Mālini ##mAlini## scheme) as outlined in the MālinivijayottaraTantram ##mAlinivijayottaratantram## addressing aspects pertaining to Amṛta ##amR^ita## as can be gleaned from the following Śloka-s ##shlokAH## :##
