Товч агуулга:The present study was an attempt towards that direction. This study brought to the notice of the author many new and interesting facts which led him to pursue his study further. As the number of published texts on Tàntric Buddhism is very scanty, the author had to collect his materials mainly from unpublished manuscripts. As there is no possibility of many of these texts being published in the near future, the author has deemed it proper to quote copiously from these manuscripts to illustrate his points and to substantiate his generalisations. This, theauthor hopes, will give the reader a better opportunity for making his own judgment and also for testing the validity of the statements made and conclusions arrived at.
