Complete text with a mandala drawing on the cover page, including
Nepali title and date. The Vajraśūcī's authorship is uncertain but it is
often ascribed to the 2nd Century AD Brahman Buddhist scholar
Ashvaghosha (Aśvaghoṣa), who was the author of the famous
Buddhacarita (Life of Buddha). The
Vajraśūcī, popular for its argument that true Brahmanhood
depends on attaining realisation of Brahman (the absolute) rather than
on birth or one's actions in life, is normally classified among the
Vedas. For a Farsi translation, see [vol 102/13
fol.74-78] . |
