Dear list members, The following 12 etexts (listed below with brief comments by Mark S.G. Dyczkowski) have been added to the Muktabodha searchable etext library. Direct link: https://muktalib7.com/DL_CATALOG_ROOT/digital_library_secure_entry.htm
1)* Nityakarmavidhi* One of the few examples of Kashmiri smārta ritual manuals. It presents, as its name tells us, the ritual procedure to be followed on a regular daily basis. It is attributed to the Kashmiri Laugākṣi who is identified with author of the Laugākṣgṛhyasūtra. Compilled by Keśava Bhaṭṭa, a late 19th century Kashmiri who published several liturgical works. Amongst the *stotra*s that constitue the second half is the Śivastuti, better known as the Bhairavastava by Abhinavagupta. 2) *Prāsādacandrikā* >From IFP transcript T0093. The colophon attributes it to Jñānaprakāśa the elder. Deals with a series of yogic ascents, the stations of which are variously marked. 3) *Prāsādaṣaṭślokīvyākhyā* >From IFP transcript T00469. Six verses describing kuṇḍalinī and her movement. 4) *Sanatkumāratantra* A Vaiṣṇava tantra. Probably a late work of possibly Bengali origin. Teaches a program of daily worship focusing on the morning rites. 5) *Sidhāntasārapaddhati* >From NGMCP manuscript 5-743/vi śaivatantra 2003 Reel no: B 28/19. Ascribed to King Bhojadeva. From an old palm leaf manuscript from Nepal which, although undated indicates the texts early date. If the text was indeed compiled in the 11th century, as it could well be, this would be a rare example of an early śaiva liturgical manual. 6) *Spandapradīpikā* by the vaiṣṇava Bhagavadutpala a commentary on the Spandakārikā edited by Mark Dyczkowski. 7)*Svātantrayadīpikā* by ṁānasarāma >From a manuscript. Summary of the main tenents of Kashmiri śaivism by Mānasarāma the grand teacher of Swami Lakṣmanjoo. It is written in the form of short aphorisms on which the author himself comments. 8) *T**roṭalottara* >From NGMCP manuscript 5-4844 reel no: B 126/15 A Gāruḍa tantra. 9) *V**irūpākṣapaṇcaśikā* published by Travanacore Government Press, 1910, edited by T. Ganapati Shastri A work steeped in the pratyabhijñnā but most probably a work from South India. 10) *Yogacintāmaṇi *by śivānanda >From NGMCP manuscript 1-1337 reel no: B 39/5 A compilation of citations from works dealing with yoga on which the author comments. 11) *Muṇḍamālātantram I* This and the following text Muṇḍamālātantram II were transcribed from an edition by Rasika Mohana Caṭṭopādhyāya published in Calcutta at the end of the 19th century in Bengali script. These two texts are quite different texts but largely coincide in their contents and concerns and belong to the same period. 12) *Muṇḍamālātantram II* Same comments as for Muṇḍamālātantram I. Thank you, Harry Spier
