Miscellaneous Notes
This text is said to be the 4th chapter of the puṇḍarīkāpurāṇawhich is mentioned qualified by the word, rahasya meaning secret (see fol. 103a). However at the beginning, the treatment is stated to be based upon the cidambararahasyakalpa and puṇḍarīkapurāṇa. The compound, sūkṣmāgamarahasyapuṇḍarīkapurāṇoktaprakāreṇa, suggests that the version contained in the puṇḍarīkapuraṇa follows the sūkṣmāgama. However the sūkṣmāgama does not contain the treatment of this topic, but the treatment in this text may be based on the principles suggested in the sūkṣmāgama. It is interesting to note that another cidambarayantra is attributed to mukuṭottarāgama-iti makuṭottararahasye mantrayogoddhāre tṛtīyaḥ spandaḥ
