About the Book
This volume presents the first critical edition and complete Western translation of The Great Amulet, Great Queen of Spells (Mahapratisara-Mahavidya-rajni), an influential apotropaic scripture of Mahayana Vajrayana Buddhism. Originating around the middle of the first millennium, this dharani text became part of the Pancaraksa collection and continues to be used in Nepal. The book offers an introduction, critical editions of the five Gilgit fragments (7th century), and fifteen selected Eastern Indian and Nepalese manuscripts (11th–19th century), along with a detailed annotated translation. It examines the characteristics, use, and transmission of this talismanic text within South Asian Buddhism, providing scholars and practitioners with an authoritative resource on its historical and ritual significance.
