यः पूर्णानन्दविश्रान्तसर्वशास्त्रार्थपारगः। स श्रीचुखुलको दिश्यादिष्टं मे गुरुरुत्तमः॥१२॥

Venerable Cukhulaka --Abhinavagupta's father-- (śrī-cukhulakaḥ) was the one who (yaḥ... saḥ) was fully conversant with the meanings of all the scriptures and (also the one who) had attained a repose in the Perfect/Full Bliss (pūrṇa-ānanda-viśrānta-sarva-śāstra-artha-pāragaḥ). Let the most elevated Guru grant (me) (diśyāt... guruḥ uttamaḥ) my desired object --i.e. the Supreme Śiva-- (iṣṭam me)!||12||
