Description
A dhāraṇī (spell) text dedicated to the deity Gaṇapati begins with a story in which Lord Buddha resides in Rājagṛha and gives teachings to his closest disciple, Ānanda. It is believed that the mantras in this text possess mystical power, such that anyone who wears, reads, or listens to them will have their wishes fulfilled (Mitra, 1985, p. 89). The manuscript contains an illustration of Gaṇapati on folio 1b.
