    TANTRIK TEXTS EpITED BY ARTHUR AVALON SHATCHAKRANIRUPAWA AND PADUKAPANCHAKA Epivep By TARANATHA VIDYARATNA Catcutta Lonpon SANSKRIT PRESS DEPOSITORY LUZAC & CO 30, CORNWALLIS STREET 48, GREAT RUSSEL STREET, W.C 1913 INTRODUCTION. This. volume commences with the Sa¢-chakra-niripaza, of Purzananda Svami which forms the sixth chapter of the hitherto unpublished work of that author entitled Shritattva- chintamani, The latter is a voluminous treatise in Twenty-five Chapters. The MSS. in the library of the Asiatic Society of Bengal covers some 400 pages of close writing on paper larger than foolscap. The first Chapter deals with Tattvabodha ; the Second with the necessity of and different modes of Diks#a ; the Third Chapter gives directions regarding the selection of the place of Diksha, Kirmmachakra, Vastuyaga and Vighnanashaka Mandala (danger destroying circle ) : also as to the appropriate sacrifices and Mantras of the Devatas to be worshipped in the Mandala ; the Fourth Chapter is devoted to the rules relating to the erection of the Mandapa ; the Fifth Chapter speaks of the auxiliary Devatas and their places in Diksha ; and the rules relating to their Pija ; of the kumbha (jar) ; of the metals to be used in its making and its size and shape. The sixth chapter of it here published contains a description of the six centres, the so-called Miladhara, Svadisscsana, Maxipura, Anahata, Vishuddha, and Ajna Chakras or Lotuses (padma) a knowledge of which is essential for the understanding of the Yoga method dealt with in the Tantras. To this work there isa commentary, apparently written by Kali-charana. Though there is no direct statement of such authorship yet the commentaries on the Saz-chakra and the Paduka-panchaka are written in the same style, and under v. 43 of the Saf-chakra the Commentator says that he has made clear, the matter there referred to in the commentary (which was written by Kalicharaza) on the Paduka-panchaka-stotra (paduka panchaka stotre spasféi-kritam). Kalicharana begins his commentary on ii the Padukapanchaka by saying that it is composed by himself (Kalicharawaé prakashayet). To the commentary of Kali- charama are added ‘notes by the Commentator Shangkara, who appears to have used a text slightly different from that of Kalicharaza. The variant readings have been here noted. This work and its commentaries are followed by the Paduka-panchaka with the commentary of Kalicharawa already referred to. The latter is a careful commentator, who has dealt with his subject ina thorough manner but the difficulties of both the text and his commentary are such that the reader will be glad to avail himself of the notes from the third commentary here referred to, by Vishvanatha on the second Pagala of the Kaivalya-kalika Tantra, which, (though so far as I am aware not now available) dealt, in this portion of it with the same subject and much on the same lines as Piirwinanda’s Shat-chakra. Rather, it should be said that, as the Kaivalya- kalika is held to have been an original Tantra, it is not unlikely that Pirvzinanda was indebted to it for his own work. In some matters, Vishvanatha has explained things in his own way, simply and in a manner which goes straight to the point. The Shat-chakra contains fifty fives verses. To these is added another, here numbered 31 (1) and located at the end of the volume which though not noticed, by either Kali-charaza or Shangkara, is given by Baladeva’s text. The work may be conveniently divided into eight sections, namely, (1) verses 1 to 3 which deal with the Nadis, (2) verses 4 to 13 treating of the Miiladhara Padma, (3) verses 14 to 18, which deal with the Svadis4¢hana, (4) verses 19 to 21 with Manipiira, (5) verses 22 to 27 with Anahata, (6) verses 28 to 31 with Vishuddha, (7) verses 32 to 38 with Ajna, (8) verses 39 to 49 with the Sahasrara, and (9) verses 50 to 54 with the passage of Kundalini from the Miladhara to Sahasrara piercing on her way thither the six chakras—a Tantrika Yoga pidcess Known as Shat-chakra-bheda or as some call it Bhiitashuddhi, ill It is not necessary to deal further with the subject matter here, as I have, in preparation for publication, an English trans- lation of the text now given. The Shaé¢-chakra-nirupaza and the Paduka-panchaka with notes of Kalicharaza were first published in Shakabda, 1778 (A. D. 1858) by the Sucharu Press, Calcutta, under the editorship of the late Anandachandra Vedantavagisha. This edition which is rare having been long out of print, has been used in the preparation of this volume. In 1276 (A.D. 1869) another edition of the Shaé-chakra with the commentary of Ramavallabha was published by Kalidas Bhattacharyya, along with the Paduka-panchaka and its com- mentary by Kali-charava. Kaliprasanna Vidydratna in 1294 (A.D. 1887) published the S/aé-chakra together with a number of other books on Yoga. This edition of the Ssa¢-chakra contained the commentary of Rama-vallabha though it is not ~ acknowledged as such by the editor. There have been several other cheap publications on Yoga which contain the Shaf- chakra niriipaza. Some are provided with Bengali translations but none with notes. The commentaries of Vishvanatha and the notes from Shangkara are published for the first time. CaLcuTTa ARTHUR AVALON.
