summary:
  en: Pañcarakṣā Sūtra is a Buddhist tantra text as the name suggests it contains five sections dedicated to five seperate deities used for rituals and prayers for protection. (1) Mahāpratisarā from (f.1–51)– For protection against sins and transgressions. (2) Mahāmāyūrī from (f.–52–110)– For protection against snake bites and venom. (3) Mahāsāhasrapramardanī from (f.111–164)– For protection against evil spirits. (4) Mahāmantrānusāriṇī from (f.165–172)– For protection against disease and plague. (5) Mahāśītavatī from (f.173–179)– For protection against dangerous animals. This manuscript is complete along with an ornamental cover with five circles which were probably meant for illustrations or carving of deities but never came to be, however the secondary cover does have an illustration. The folios have an illustration of the specific deity on the beginning of each part in the center. The text is written in Pracalita Nepal Akṣara.
