Śiva Sūtra 2.8
शरीरं हविः ||2.8||
The body (śarīram | nom sg) [is] the offering (haviḥ | nom sg).
Your own body becomes the offering.
Kṣemarāja explains in the Vimarśinī: The body is not to be despised.
The Vārttika explains: Body, thought, Prāṇa, and emptiness are not absolutely stable; they arise and pass away.
Śiva Sūtra 2.9
ज्ञानमन्नम् ||2.9||
[Limited] knowledge (jñānam | nom sg) [is] the food (annam | nom sg).
Limited knowledge becomes the food of this inner sacrifice.
Kṣemarāja explains in the Vimarśinī: Everything that is known becomes food for awareness.
The Vārttika explains: Knowledge binds when it takes the non-self to be the self.
Śiva Sūtra 2.10
विद्यासंहारे तदुत्थस्वप्नदर्शनम् ||2.10||
When knowledge is reabsorbed (vidyā-saṃhāre | loc absl sg), [there appears] as a dream the vision of what arises from it (tad-uttha-svapna-darśanam | nom sg).
When clear knowledge recedes, the world that arose from it appears once more like a dream.
Kṣemarāja explains in the Vimarśinī: When clear knowledge wanes, the dreamlike world of distinctions emerges again.
The Vārttika explains: When pure Vidyā recedes and the Sādhaka becomes proud of his concentration, a dream of distinction and Vikalpas appears.
