Daśakriyā

The text begins with “Om Namaḥ Śrī Vajrasattvāya.” Thereafter, the procedure of the Daśakriyāvidhi (ten funeral rites) is described. In the section on Asthipratiṣṭhāvidhi (the ritual of bone consecration), the rites of Jalasnāna, Sthalasnāna, and Agnisnāna are discussed. It also contains a reference to the Pañcatīrtha, preceded by salutations to King Śākyasiṃha, the promulgator of the Dharma Chakra. On folio no. 4a, the Asthipratiṣṭhāvidhi concludes, after which the description of the Daśapiṇḍavidhi begins. In the final folio, there is a mention of the “Caityapūjāvidhi” (the ritual procedure for stūpa worship).
