None of the above. Most of the technical terms of the Trika/Kashmir
Shaivism etc. will not be found in standard dictionaries.
However you may find them in a Tantrikabhidanakosha such as found
here. I haven't received mine yet, but from the excerpt, it appears
it will have Trika and other tantric terms.
