Sesasamuccaya with Vimarsini of Sankara

by Dr. P. K. Narayana Pillai (Ed.)

Seshasamucchaya of Sankara is the sequel to the famous Tantrasamuccaya and has been long out of Print. This edition is a reprint of the original edition published under the Trivandrum Sanskrit Series. Sesasamuccaya continues with the tantric tradition and rituals connected with the deities which are not presented in the Tantra samuccaya. The author has taken references from prapancasara, Gauripasna, etc and various agama texts. The Sesasamucchaya was originally written as palm leaf in the year around 13th century. It has been ascertained that the author of this volume is also the same Sankara who wrote the commentary on Tantrasamucchaya. The Vimarsini which is appended as the second part of the original text is an excellent commentary on the rituals, etc.
