"The Hindu Pantheon in Nepalese Line Drawings" by Bühnemann (2003)

Title of the Book: The Hindu Pantheon in Nepalese Line Drawings: Two Manuscripts of the Pratiṣṭhālakṣaṇasārasamuccaya
Author: Gudrun Bühnemann
Publication Year: 2003
Published By: Indica, Vārāṇasī


This book reproduces line drawings of the pantheon of deities described in chapter 6 of the Pratiṣṭhālakṣaṇasārasamuccaya from two 17th-century Nepalese manuscripts Drawing of the 64 Yoginīs according to the Devī-Purāṇa found in an appendix to both manuscripts are also reproduced. 

The line drawings from Nepal should prove to be of great importance to the study of Hindu iconography. Comprehensive and almost complete sets of illustrations of pantheons such as this one are rarely found. 

In addition to the line drawings, this volume reproduces the Sanskrit text of chapter 6 of the printed edition of the printed edition of the Pratiṣṭhālakṣaṇasārasamuccaya (published in Kathmandu in 1966), which is not accessible. The Pratiṣṭhālakṣaṇasārasamuccaya, also called Lakṣaṇasārasamuccaya, Lakṣaṇasaṅgraha and Lakṣaṇasamuccaya, is a text of the 11th or 12th century and is attributed to Vairocana. It is a work on the construction and installation of lingas compiled from various Agamas. The present book discusses its authorship and date, the contents of its individual chapters, and analyses in detail the iconographic features of the deities described in chapter 6.
