It describes in great detail the rites of the tradition, including homa fire sacrifice and the uses of the mantras of the mandala's main deities. The author provides a trilingual English-Tibetan-Sanskrit glossary.Together with the present author's related publications in this seriesāincluding a translation of the Cakrasamvara root tantra (2007) and critical editions of its Sanskrit and Tibetan texts (2012), and the first volume of this master Tibetan commentary (2017)āthe reader will have the first full study of this important tantra available in English.
