Introduction
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). 'First 15 leaves are damaged. Fols. 6 and 48 are missing. The pagination of 116 is missed out. There is a leaf without folio number, whose contents are neither those of fol. 6 nor of fol. 48, and a leaf for the list of the contents.' (Matsunami, 1965, p. 49).
