Description
This text is sometimes attributed to Viśvamitra and is believed to be part of a larger work known as the Viśvamitrakalpa (cf. NCC). While the Viśvamitrakalpa primarily addresses the daily duties of Brahmins, the Vibhūtidhāraṇa section appears to be distinctly esoteric, as suggested by the chapter titles inscribed in red ink in the manuscript. These titles pertain to tantric rituals and vidhis. The chapters include:
(10a3) Iti Mahākālasaṃhitokta Vibhūtidhāraṇam- “Thus [ends the section on] the Wearing of Powers, as stated in the Mahākāla Saṃhitā.”
(10a8) Iti Tāntrika Tilakadhāraṇam -“Thus [ends the section on] the Wearing of the Tantric Forehead Mark.”
(12a4) Iti Snāna Vibhṛti Dhāraṇa Sandhyātarpaṇavidhiḥ - “Thus [ends the section on] the Ritual Instructions for Bathing, Adorning the Body, and the Offering at Twilight.”
(13b6) Iti Śrīkulaḍāmare Siddhalakṣmī Vidyātritayaṃ Saṃkṣepataḥ Saṃpūrṇam - “Thus ends the Brief Completion of the Three Siddhalakṣmī Mantras in the Śrīkulaḍāmara tradition.”
(14a5) Iti Śrīmahākṣallālike Prākṛta Siddhalakṣmī Vidyā Samāptaḥ - “Thus ends the Prākṛta Siddhalakṣmī Mantra in the Śrīmahākṣallālikā tradition.” (17a9) Iti Śrītridaśaḍāmare Pratyaṅgirā Devyā Mahāstavādhikāraḥ - “Thus ends the Chapter on the Great Hymn to the Goddess Pratyaṅgirā in the Śrītridaśaḍāmara.”
