About this Manuscript

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. No. 175, 176. In the colophon, the manuscript gives the title as: Ity āryya-dvādaśasāhasrīkāyāṃ mahāpratyaṅgirāyāṃ sarvatathāgatoṣṇīṣasītātapatrānāma mahāvidyārājñī avalokita-mūrddhinī-tṛtīya-kalpa samāpta. This work is similar to that found in SOAS MS.211250. R. C. Dogra documented the colophon of SOAS MS.211250 in A Handlist of the Manuscripts in South Asian Languages in the Library.
