About this Manuscript

This is a composite manuscript containing Buddhist Tantra works. It seems that the first two works, Caṇḍamāhāroṣaṇasādhana and Ekallavīrapratibhedāntarasahajābhilāṣadhāraṇī, are influenced by the Ekallavīracaṇḍamahāroṣaṇatantra text. It also appears that another text is included between these two, and it has four chapters (pariccheda). The intermediate colophon only mentions "iti ekarvirasya prathama paricchedaḥ," which indicates that this text is also influenced by the Ekallavīracaṇḍamahāroṣaṇatantra. The third text is Mañjuśrībhaṭṭārakapratijñādhāraṇī; the fourth text is Ekajaṭādhāraṇī; the fifth text is Ekallavīraśrīmahāroṣaṇatantra-mantra-pravara, though Matsunami questioned this title because, after the word 'mantra,' there is a blank space, and then the word 'pravara' is written, suggesting that the scribe may have missed a few letters in between. The last work is Guhyeśvarī mantra-dhāraṇī.
