These palm-leaf fragments written in Nepālākṣarā contain a fragmentary passage of the third chapter of the Yoginīhṛdaya<\/i> (a text of the Śrīvidyā tradition and traditionally classed as part of the so-called Vāmakeśvaratantra<\/i>), starting with verse 3.44d in Kaviraj's edition (1963), and verse 3.41d in Padoux's (2013). The leaves are found in a bundle containing two different fragments belonging to the Vāmakeśvaratantra<\/i>, one leaf of the Kuśopadeśa<\/i> (Or.722.1<\/a>), as well as hitherto unidentified fragments of Buddhist, Śaiva and generally Tantric texts, to which they don't seem to be related, although they appear to be equally old. Both the kind of palm leaf and the script are different to other folios in this bundle. The section contained in our manuscript is the beginning of the passage dealing with the imposition of the cakra<\/i> (cakranyāsa<\/i>). Since the beginning of the quoted text is marked by a siddham<\/i> sign followed by a benediction to the goddess Tripurasundarī, it appears that this passage was extracted and treated here as a single manuscript, perhaps put together to contain the essential information regarding the cakranyāsa<\/i> for practical ritual purposes. This may be corroborated by the fact that on folio 1r<\/a> before the beginning of the text, a passage in Nepālākṣarā script was added by a second hand, providing a short note for the procedure to extract the root mantra for worship (the vidyoddhāra<\/i>), which is not explicitely given in the Yoginīhṛdaya<\/i> (Padoux 2013: 15). However, the full extent of the manuscript is unknown. The Vāmakeśvaratantra<\/i> itself comprises two works, our Yoginīhṛdaya<\/i> and the Nityāṣoḍaśikārṇava<\/i>, and it is not certain when each of these works were composed and became collectively referred to as Vāmakeśvaratantra<\/i>. Sanderson suggests that the Yoginīhṛdaya<\/i> may have been composed at a slightly later date than the Nityāṣoḍaśikārṇava<\/i>, which has received a commentary by the Kashmirian Jayaratha at the beginning of the 13th century.<\/p>" }, { "label": "Title", "value": "Yoginīhṛdaya" }, { "label": "Author(s) of the Record", "value": "Nina Mirnig., CUDL PID Workflow" }, { "label": "Material", "value": "Palm leaf (Corypha).
