About this Manuscript

This is a collection of Buddhist rituals, influenced by Hindu Tantric collections authored by Kuladatta, a Buddhist teacher. The text consists of 8 prakaraṇas containing 4,285 ślokas (NCC, Vol. 4, p. 234). It begins with the definition of a spiritual Guru and his śiṣya, followed by an explanation of the ceremony for erecting and consecrating a Vihāra. The text describes the perfect and pure land for building a Vihāra, as well as the imperfect and impure lands that should be avoided. It provides a detailed description of the vāstu and the construction planning of the Vihāra. The topic then shifts to the context of ordination, with a detailed discussion of the rituals related to ordination (Mitra, 1882, pp. 105-109). "Fol. 1 is missing. The existing fol. 1 does not belong to the text. "BeLongs to Nudima Nundu" is stamped on every leaf." (Matsunami, 1965, p. 49). It seems that the last two folia are relatively new, as can be seen from their condition and handwriting.
