Description
A Buddhist text describes several mantras related to Mahāpratyaṅgirā, a deity in the Tantric Buddhist pantheon. At the beginning of the manuscript, the iconography of the deity is described: Mahāpratyaṅgirā is blue in colour. In the Sādhanamālā, the deity is imagined with one face, six arms and blue in colour. (Bhattacharyya, 1924, p. 88).
This manuscript also contains the Vajradharavajrapāṇipratyaṅgirā-bodhicittaparigrahokathā (f.31a); mahāpratyaṅgirā-mahāvidyāyāsadharmmasmita (f.110a); Uṣṇīṣa-sitātapatrā-nāma-aparājitā-mahāpratyaṅgirā-mahāvidyā (f.112a); This work is similar to Sl.
