Śabdagrāma (शब्दग्राम) (Cf. Nāda, Vācya) refers to the “aggregate of phonemic energies”, according to Kṣemarāja in his commentaries on the Netratantra and the Svacchandabhairavatantra, which is well known to the Kubjikā Tantras.—‘Sound’ (nāda) is the name given to the pulse (spanda) of the supreme level of Speech (parā vāc), which animates the highest reality. [...] As this Sound is the denotator of the world of objects, which are its denoted meaning, it manifests (sphuṭati) the universe, and so is called the ‘manifestor’ (sphoṭa). As such it is the aggregate of phonemic energies (śabdagrāma) that generates the universe identified with the Sound Absolute (śabdabrahman)—the absolute reality in the form of sound (dhvanirūpa, śabdanasvabhāva). Viewed from the reverse perspective, Sound is the resonance that follows the Point that condenses the energy of mantra, which, through Sound, merges into Śiva’s energy. Accordingly, it is defined as that which remains of the synthetic awareness of the conscious subject in itself when the duality of thought comes to an end. [...]”.
