About this Manuscript

This is a classical collection of the Pañcarakṣā Dhāraṇī along with their companion shield Hṛdayāparājitā. They are personified as five powerful goddesses who act as cosmic bodyguards against diseases, epidemics, snakebites, planetary curses, and natural catastrophes. Scribes almost always bound them together into a single mega-anthology called a Pañcarakṣā Sūtra. Including; f.10 Hṛdayāparājitānama Dhāraṇī; f.15 Mahāpratisarā Dhāraṇī; f.32 Sāhasrapramardanī Dhāraṇī; f.52 Ārya Mahāmāyūrī vidyārājñī Dhāraṇī; f.84 Mahāśītavatīvidya Dhāraṇī; f.90 Mahāmantrānusāraṇīvidya Dhāraṇī. It has starts from f. no. 2 so it seems it is an incomplete text. It has damaged very badly several words are unrecnizable. some folios has blank spot may be for the images of these goddeses.
