A Buddhist Ritual Manual on Agriculture Vajratu??asamayakalpar?ja ? Critical Edition

A hitherto unpublished scripture of Buddhist dharani literature, the Vajratu??asamayakalpar?ja has been recently discovered in five Nepalese manuscripts. This rare Sanskrit text from around the fifth century focuses on the ritual practice of thaumaturgic weather control for successful agriculture by the vidyadhara spell-master, linking the incantation tradition to the economic power of the Nepalese Buddhist community.
