Description

This manuscript is a collection of sādhanas dedicated to a wide range of Buddhist deities, including various forms of Avalokiteśvara and Tārā, as well as tantric deities such as Hevajra, Kurukullā, Mañjughoṣa, Dhvajāgrakeyūra, Mahāmāyūrī, Mahāsītavatī, and others. The names of each sādhana, along with their associated deities and folio numbers, are listed after the colophon. Due to its extensive collection, the Sādhanasamuccaya is frequently referenced in relation to the Sādhanamālā, particularly in the context of Buddhist iconographic studies (see Benoytosh Bhattacharyya). After the colophon, the script briefly shifts to Devanāgarī for one page before returning to the list of sādhanas and their corresponding deities.
