IO San 2897 A

Dāśarathīya tantra

Contents

Language(s): Sanskrit

Title: Dāśarathīya Tantra
Explicit: ācāryacaraṇāṃbhojatīrthameva nadījalaṃ| dhyātvā snānaṃ prakurvīta sarvapāpaviśuddhaye||४७|| prāṇānāyamya saṃkalpya snānaṃ kuryāddina dine| ke
ff. 20v-20v

A treatise purporting to be proclaimed by Rāma.

Imperfect, inaccurate text.

Adhyāya I in 75 verses.

Adhyāya II in 106 verses, ends fol.8b; Adhyāya.III, 109 verses, fol.12v; Adhyāya IV, 81 verses, fol.16; Adhyāya V, 80 verses, fol.19. It breaks off fol.20v.

It begins fol.1v, just as in Eggeling, no.2557; in ver.2 it reads bhaktijiteṃdriyaṃ; in ver. 7 it has, like that MS., ०māsaneṣūpaveśayat; and in ver.11, sma, this being a common epic and Purāṇic irregularity for smaḥ and therefore not to be corrected.

There is a prefix to fol.3 a sheet of paper with a Sanskrit title for the work and a note: 'a Tantra or "religious treatise", but in fact an exposition of Indian metaphysicks, embracing the theory of time and spirit; and professing to embody the substance of the Vedas, the divine mystery couched under the allegorical types of the 3 Rámas, forms which Vishnu assumed on earth. With directions to performstated ceremonies for the attainment of final beatitude.'
