[Page110-b] miscellaneous treatise on tantra, mantra, alchemy and magic ascribed to Siddha
Nāgārjuna.

Some mss. called RasaratnākaraMantrakhaṇḍa and ascribed to Siddha Nityanātha represent texts
identical with Kakṣapuṭa. Mss. refs. given below are classified into those called Kakṣapuṭa
ascribed to Nāgārjuna and those called Rasaratnākara and ascribed to Nityanātha and those in
which titles and a.-names are mixed up.

The text called Rasakacchapuṭa, ascribed in cols. to Nāgārjuna, seems to be a later
compilation made out of several texts including some ascribed to Nāgārjuna, for its a. is
mentioned expressly as Gannirāja Vaikhānasa of Bhāradvājagotra. See MD. 13192. MT. 3776.

Indrajālakautuka (e. g. MT. 2577) has common passages with Sid. Nāg. Mantrakhaṇḍa or M. kh.
of Siddha Nityanātha.

Cf. Indrajāla, Upadeśa 13, pp. 87-98, of the a.'s Mantrakhaṇḍa, edn.

Mss. called Rasaratnākara-Mantrakhaṇḍa and ascribed to Nityanātha but identical with
Kakṣapuṭa ascribed to Nāgārjuna:

Some mss. e. g. 3 BORI. mss. (see BORI. D. XVI. i. 201, Descriptive Note) call this text
Mantrasāra and M. s. uddhāra; and several others, Siddhikhaṇḍa, with or without additional
epithets; in a few Mantrakhaṇḍa mss. themselves the title Siddhikhaṇḍa is additionally found in
col. (e. g. BORI. D. XVI. i. 214). Occasionally the name Mantrakhaṇḍa occurs also in mss. called
Kakṣapuṭa (MD. 7778).
