This is a collection of Buddhist rituals, influenced by Hindu Tantric collections authored by Kuladatta, a Buddhist teacher. The text consists of 8 prakaraṇas containing 4,285 ślokas (NCC, Vol. 4, p. 234). It begins with the definition of a spiritual guru and his śiṣya, followed by an explanation of the ceremony for erecting and consecrating a Vihāra. The text describes the perfect and pure land for building a Vihāra, as well as the imperfect and impure lands that should be avoided. It provides a detailed description of the vāstu and the construction planning of the Vihāra. The topic then shifts to the context of ordination, with a detailed discussion of the rituals related to ordination (Mitra, 1882, pp. 105-109). This manuscript is divided into two parts. The first part ends on f. 106 (it seems the scribe mistakenly wrote 107), and this folio contains the date 833 (most probably Nepal Saṃvat). It appears that the end line is written in the Newari language. The second part begins without any discontinuation in the text, with folio numbers starting from 1 and continuing to 135. (Matsunami, Catalogue of the Kawaguchi-Takakusu Collection of Sanskrit manuscripts. Note-book 16, p. 69).
