Description
A Buddhist Tantra text, composed around the 11th century, consisting of 25 paṭalas (chapters). The text discusses various Tantric practices, the philosophy of Buddhist Tantra, mantras, magical rites and rituals, and many other topics. It is composed in the form of a dialogue between Vajrasattva and his consort Vajradhātvīśvarī. Though this manuscript contains 26 paṭalas (chapters), it repeats the Viśuddhi paṭala twice. The first folio contains three colourful illustrations of Buddhist deities. Matsunami mentions, 'Fol. 1-b has three pictures: of Mahāroṣaṇa, Kṛṣṇācala (?), and one more' (Matsunami, 1965, p. 30). The post-colophon section provides the name and other family details of the donor's family.
