Description

The Sragdharāṭīkā is a Sanskrit commentary on the Sragdharā Stotra, a hymn dedicated to the goddess Tārā, a revered figure in both Mahāyāna and Vajrayāna Buddhism. The stotra is composed in the Sragdharā metre, a classical Sanskrit poetic metre characterized by lines of 21 syllables and known for its intricate rhythmic structure (Wisdom Library). Each verse is marked by a jyotiścinha (metrical marker) above, indicating the metre. In the NCC Vol. 8 . pg. no. 161 mentions the main text is Sragdharā Stotra by Sarvajñamitra and the commentator is Jinarakṣita but in the manuscript the name of the commentator is not mention on the other hand 392 mss is the same text which mentions the commentators name so we can assumes the text is the same.
