About this Manuscript

This manuscript contains two different texts. The first is a Buddhist Tantra text, composed around the 11th century, consisting of 25 chapters (paṭalas). The text discusses various Tantric practices, the philosophy of Buddhist Tantra, mantras, magical rites and rituals, and many other topics. The text is composed in the form of a dialogue between Vajrasattva and his consort Vajradhātvīśvarī. After the completion of the text, one śānti mantra was composed, followed by the composition of the Bhairava mantra. This text describes a tantra ritual called sīmāprākāravadha.
