Among the medieval works on Tantra this work in Sanskrit holds a place of great importance for its comprehension and authority. The author who describes himself as an anchorite who did austerity in Varanasi prepared this book in twenty five Tarangas more as a compilation of relevant material for the Sadhakas than as an independent work. It is encyclopaedic in nature it is verlly an ocean as the title suggests of mantras. Now in Tantrik Sadhana the mantras are of great significance for they are sufficient means of visualizing the Gods. Indeed the mantras are the body of the Gods. There is thus a correspondence between the mantra formulation murti visualization and the tantra actualization. This correspondence is the theme of this work. Exceedingly valuable for the spiritual practitioners and extremely popular among them in the North as well as in the South there was till now no translation of this work into English. Great was its need.
