Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/The Hevajra Tantra I/Glossary + (Internal or esoteric, in contrast with bāh … Internal or esoteric, in contrast with bāhya, external or exoteric. Thus the contents of the Hevajra-tantra can often be interpreted in two ways. E.g. the places of pilgrimage (I. vii) refer exoterically to actual sites, but esoterically they are identified within the body of the meditat- ing yogin. Thus the commentaries often give double interpretations, e.g. vol. I, pp. 71-72 fns., 86 fn., vol. II, pp. 103-4, no, 121-2. Be- sides adhyātmika and bāhya, certain other terms are used: aksarārtha, 'literal meaning' in contrast with sampradāyārtha, 'traditional meaning'; neyārthāy 'expected meaning' in contrast with nītārtha 'real meaning'. In the case of our texts neyārtha means in effect 'literal meaning' and nītārtha 'figurative meaning', thus reversing the normal meaning of these two terms. See Egerton, BHS Dictionary, p. 310.erms.

Conceptual karmic energy includes the energies of ignorance, attachment, and aggression; this aspect is what must be eliminated.

Together, these two are referred to as 'karmic energy.'" [TK 3, 45] are referred to as 'karmic energy.'" [TK 3, 45])
