v3.c46.1328

The thirty-six tantrayuktis are defined in ślokas,¹⁵¹⁹ accompanied by an autocommentary which draws heavily on Nīlamegha's work, being partly identical with it, partly original and more extensive. This commentary, preserved only up to yukti ten, quotes, apart from the authorities also mentioned by Nīlamegha, Indu (12) and Aruṇa (12 and 14), while Nīlamegha is repeatedly referred to as Megha.¹⁵²⁰ The exposition on the tantrayuktis is completed by verses elucidating the other tantraguṇas.
