summary:
  en: This is a Buddhist Tantra text that belongs to the Cakrasaṃvara segment of the Buddhist canon. Sugiki believed that this text was composed in the eastern part of the Indian subcontinent, probably between the late 11th and early 12th century. This manuscript contains 51 chapters (paṭalas). The text begins with an invocation to the Vīras and Vireśvarīs who attain the siddhis. It also describes the Maṇḍala with Goddesses and the piṭhas (sacred places) in India, and discusses the process of Abhiṣeka, the practice of Māyādeha and Caṇḍāli, and other practices (The Princeton Dictionary of Buddhism, p. 163). This manuscript is written in Sanskrit ślokas, with fragments of Apabhraṃśa prose and verses, which matches the description of Nagendra Narayan Chaudhuri. It is written in the saṅgīti style. As Nagendra Narayan Chaudhuri mentioned in his Ḍākārṇava edition, the text he dealt with was influenced by Śaurasenī Apabhraṃśa.
