ritual manual

Attributed in the first line to *Ācārya MantigarbhaandĀrya Asaṅga, this is a ritual manual for controlling destructivenāgas. The work begins with a brief warning that when theMahāyānadisappears, the violent teachings of evilnāgas will be established. Distinct rites are then provided for controlling blacknāgas (1r.2), goldennāgas (l1r.5), and multi-colourednāgas (1v.5), for killing anynāgas who have trangressed their vows (2v.2), and for entrusting anāgawith a task (3r.1). The rites generally involve going to the site of a spring, recitingmantras and mixing various ingredients, and making effigies that are then thrown into the spring. The sufferings that thenāgawill have to endure if he breaks his vows are also described.
