Introduction
About this Manuscript
Vajravārāhikalpa is attributed to Sarvadevasamāgama. Vajravārāhi features as a part of the Śakta worship in Newaris of Kathamandu. Their ceremony of initiation before the Maṇḍala of Cakrasaṁvara is followed on the final day by initiation before the Maṇḍala of Vajradevī (Vajravārāhi). The full Vajravārāhikalpa is of about three thousand verses, which interweaves the Ḍākārṇava and the Saṁvarodaya, and incorporates thirteen non scriptural Sādhana texts of Vajravārāhī and one of Nairatmya, the consort of Hevajra, the closely related Yoginījāla, of about one thousand verses; and the collection of forty-six Sādhanas of Vajrayogini known as the Guhyasamayasadhanamala. (Alexis Sanderson, The Genesis and Development of Tantrism, 176, 177).
