DESCRIPTION
This volume is an attempt to present a comprehensive work on Buddhist Iconography of India, and is mainly based on Sanskrit text prepared from seven recensions of the Sadhanamala alias Sadhanasamuccaya. In the present work endeavour has been made to indentify the images of Buddhist deities by means of Dhyanas given in the Sadhanamala. The text has been illustrated by pictures representing images in several museums in India and elsewhere in the collection of numerous Nepalese monasteries.
