28 Verses 13 to 56 are missing in the Goṇḍal MS (ed. h); ed. i does not notice this break. 29 Most of the verses describe methods to make large pearls out of small ones. 30 See on this subject: P.K. Gode (1946l). 31 See on these subjects: P.K. Gode (1947d); R.T. Vyas's Intr. to his edition of Gaṅgādhara's Gandhasāra, 66–67. 32 References are to ed. k. Compare on the contents: Satyaprakāś (1960): 408–414; V. Śukla I, 173–174. 33 Compare, for example, 2.9cd–13cd (vajreśvara) and Rasayogasāgara, yakārādi 383; 13cd–17 (vajradhāra) and Rasayogasāgara, yakārādi 364; 18–21ab (bhairavarasa) and Rasayogasāgara, pakārādi 456; 28cd–34ab (udayāditya) and Rasayogasāgara, akārādi 380; 34cd–37 (gaganeśvara) and Rasayogasāgara, kakārādi 383; 38–42 (vaṭeśvara) and Rasayogasāgara, yakārādi 385; 43–45 (acaleśvara) and Rasayogasāgara, akārādi 90; 46–49 (parameśvara) and Rasayogasāgara, pakārādi 84. 34 Compare, for example, 3.10–20ab (vajreśvariguṭikā) and Rasayogasāgara, yakārādi 384; 35cd–40 (vyomasundarīguṭikā) and Rasayogasāgara, yakārādi 637; 52–56ab (vajratuṇḍaguṭikā) and Rasayogasāgara, yakārādi 361. 35 Some of these kalpas (e.g., the brahmavṛkṣa- and nirguṇḍīkalpas) have verses in common with similar kalpas of the Kākaṇḍīśvarakalpatantra. Compare also the kalpas of the Ānandakanda, Rasārṇava and Rasārṇavakalpa. 36 Some formulae may not occur in earlier works: makaradhvaja (6.2–6; compare Rasayogasāgara, pakārādi 471); ratikāma (6.26cd–30ab; compare Rasayogasāgara, yakārādi 42); madanakāma (6.52cd–59; compare Rasayogasāgara, pākārādi 499). 37 The Mantrakhaṇḍa is called Mantrakhaṇḍa Nāgārjuna (colophons of chapters four and eight) and (Nāgārjuna's) Kakṣapuṭa (colophons of chapters one to three and seven) in Cat. Berlin Nr. 1745. The introductory verse of CBORI XVI, 1, Nr. 209 calls the treatise Śrīnāgārjunī vidyā. Siddhakhaṇḍa, Siddhikhāṇḍa, Mantrasāra and Mantrasāroddhāra are alternative titles of the Mantrakhaṇḍa (see CBORI XVI, 1, Nr. 214; J. Filliozat, Liste Nr. 133; the three Wellcome MSS in D. Wujastyk, 1984a: 82). Mantrasāra is a typically Tantric colophon (see T. Goudriaan and S. Gupta, 1981: 24). 38 The Mantrakhaṇḍa contains about 1,800 verses (Tāntrika Sāhitya 549). 39 See on vaśya or vaśīkaraṇa: T. Goudriaan (1978): 310–333. 40 See T. Goudriaan (1978): 322–325. 41 See T. Goudriaan (1978): 328–331. 42 See T. Goudriaan (1978): 294–309. 43 See T. Goudriaan (1978): 333–351. 44 See T. Goudriaan (1978): 369–373. 45 See T. Goudriaan (1978): 351–364. 46 See T. Goudriaan (1978): 379–384. 47 See T. Goudriaan (1978): 366–369. 48 See T. Goudriaan (1978): 379. 49 See T. Goudriaan (1978): 384–387. 50 These are the contents of the Wellcome MSS; see D. Wujastyk (1984a): 73–74. CBORI XVI, 1, Nr. 214 has a similar arrangement. 51 See on this subject T. Goudriaan (1978). 52 See D. Wujastyk (1984a): 75. D. Wujastyk regards the Mantrakhaṇḍa as an epitome of the Kakṣapuṭa, amounting to about one third of its length (this estimate is based on the relative length of two Wellcome MSS); some MSS of the Mantrakhaṇḍa, however, contain a text that is much longer than the Kakṣapuṭa (see Tantrika Sāhitya 549). Compare the Kakṣapuṭa. Compare on the relationship between Mantrakhaṇḍa and Kakṣapuṭa: D.G. White (1996): 161.
