Tripurasundarīmahāmantrajapa
This manuscript preserves a Tantric ritual text titled *Tripurasundarīmahāmantrajapa*, dedicated to the recitation (japa) of the great mantra of Tripurasundarī, a principal deity in Śrīvidyā tradition. The three-folio Sanskrit work, written in Devanagari script on paper and held at the Bhārat Itihāsa Saṃśodhak Maṇḍal in Pune, contains hybrid textual layers including Sanskrit mantras, vernacular notations in Gurmukhi script, and procedural instructions for ritual practice. Its unique value lies in documenting the intersection of Sanskrit liturgical formulae with regional vernacular annotations, offering insight into the lived transmission of Tantric mantra practices. The manuscript's good condition and complete state make it a significant resource for studying early modern Hindu ritual literature and scribal practices in western India.
