Dear Peter

Just in case you're not aware of it, Sanderson's (2006: 57ff.) "The Date of Sadyojyotis and Bṛhaspati" deals with the the Haravijaya's use of the terminology and authoritative texts of various Śaiva systems, in particular Saiddhāntika scriptures and works by Sadyojyotis and Bṛhaspati.  
About the Haravijaya he writes:
"This contains in its sixth chapter a long hymn to Śiva (6.13-187) in which the poet has Spring praise that deity as the true nature of the diverse highest realities venerated in India’s religious systems, using the terminology of each and working in paraphrases of formulations found in their authoritative texts. Among these systems is the Siddhānta, though nothing so prosaic as an explicit statement to this effect is allowed to compromise the obliquity required of fine verse composed for the delectation of the court. In the verses of the hymn that draw on the Siddhānta we can detect echoes of the scriptures Svāyambhuvasūtrasaṅgraha, Rauravasūtrasaṅgraha, and Mataṅgapārameśvara, and also of Sadyojyotis’ Svāyambhuvavṛtti and Bṛhaspati’s Śivatanu."

He goes on to give specific cases, for example Haravijaya 6:161 is based on Sadyojyotis' Svāyambhuvavŗtti ad 3:16, and Haravijaya 6:139 is based on Svāyambhuvavŗtti ad 3:11–13.  However the article does not help with 6:170 or the verse cited in the commentary ad loc.

I have found numerous verses beginning prākṛto vaikṛtaś caiva (mostly in Purāṇas and Āyurvedic texts) and some verses beginning sāttviko rājasaś caiva (for example in the Śāntiparvan of the Mahābhārata) but none of these give a list of 8.

Yours Alex

Dear all,

I am working on the sixth chapter of Ratnākara's Haravijaya, together with its commentaries by Alaka and Utpala. It is an ode to Śiva in which he is praised with reference to a wide variety of systems and their texts known at that time (Kashmir, 9th century). Thus the commentaries contain many quotations that Ratnākara might have had in mind when composing his verses, quite some of which I haven't been able to identify yet so that I would be happy for pointers. Here is one:

In verse 170, ending a pañcabhiḥ kulakam,

pratipadya śaṅkara bhavantam avyayaṃ
sukhaduḥkhamohaparihīṇacetanaḥ |
vyativṛttatantumayabandhanāṣṭako
bhagavan bhavān iva bhavaty aṇuḥ sphuṭam || 170 ||

there is mention of a bandhanāṣṭaka escaping which the aṇu becomes like Śiva. Referring to which the commentators Alaka and Utpala quote the following: 

prākṛto vaikṛtaś cāpi (A, U: caiva) āhaṃkārika eva ca |
sāttviko rājasaś caiva tāmasaś cāparaḥ smṛtaḥ ||
dharmādharmātmakaś ceti paśor bandhāṣṭakaṃ bhavet |
(A, U: dharmādharmamayaś ceti paśoḥ pāśāṣṭakaṃ bhavet |)

It has been suggested to me that the quotation might come from a tantric or Śivadharma milieu.

A parallel idea of eight bondages is described in Kulārṇavatantra 13.90-91, but the set there is completely different:

ghṛṇā saṅkā  bhayaṃ lajjā jugupsā  ceti pañcamī |
kulaṃ śīlaṃ tathā jātir aṣṭau pāśāḥ prakīrtitāḥ || 90 ||
pāśabaddhaḥ  pāśur jñeyaḥ  pāśamukto  maheśvaraḥ |
tasmāt pāśaharo yas tu sa guruḥ paramo mataḥ || 91 ||

Best,

Peter
