summary:
  en: This is a Buddhist ritual text on Aṣṭamātṛkā pūjā vidhi. The Matrikas are a collective of seven or eight goddesses, whose paradoxical natures express the interrelationship between the cyclical nature of women’s bodies and perennial earth based rituals. The Mātrikas are aspects of the Great Goddess in her full power and work together in collective form. In now a days the eight goddess are located at Nepal's Bhaktapur region They are known as Brāhmaṇī (east), Maheśvarī (southeast), Kumārī (south), Vaiṣṇavī (southwest), Vārāhī (west), Indrāṇī (northwest), Cāmuṇḍā (north), and Mahālakṣmī (northeast). The text describes the pūjā vidhi of the Aṣṭamātṛkā. In the manuscript hasn't mentioned any authors name or the text name but in the margin of the first folio there are mentioned Aṣṭamātṛkā so it followed the title. The text is in good condition and used red ink also for the highlighting part.
