IO San 3380

Cintāmaṇi, a Mahākalpa on Tantra rites

Contents

Language(s): Sanskrit

Title: Cintāmaṇi, a Mahākalpa (?) on Tantra rites
Incipit: Śrīgurūbhyo namaḥ | ekadā devadeveśaṃ draṣṭrā devī sucismitā| upagamya śanairbākyaṃ provāca jagadambikā||१||devyuvāca|1v

The first section ends fol. 2v, after thirty eight and a half (normally thirty nine verses).

Fol.3 is bound in in wrong order, the verso preceeding the recto.

Imperfect, inaccurate text. The text is deplorably corrupt.

The colophones are in red ink; there are diagrams on fol.3; the writing has traces of th eJaina style. The text is bounded on either side by two red lines.

The title on the lable (Vāśīkaraṇādhikārakopaśamanabījasaṃpuṭa) is that of a chapter only.

"The text breaks off: divyakālaśikhāyāṃ tu baddhvā yaṃtraṃ prayatnataḥ| mīnasya vilikhetphala kaṃṭhe ga(del.) begena mānavaḥ|| na tadā tasya
ff. 3v-3v
