About the Book
This volume presents the first critical edition and English translation of the core chapters of the Matsyendrasamhita, a Sanskrit text likely composed in the 13th century. Surviving in five 19th-century manuscripts, the Matsyendrasamhita holds significant value as a primary source for the history of yoga and Saiva religions. The work reveals key connections between tantric cults such as Kubjika and Tripura and early hathayoga practices.
In addition, the book presents a unique version of the Matsyendra legend within the frame-story, wherein his disciple Goraksa is depicted as a Chola king. This version offers fascinating insights into the historical and mythical evolution of yogic traditions.
The edition is thoroughly accompanied by a detailed introduction, annotated notes on the text’s constitution, and an annotated translation, providing a comprehensive understanding of this important work for students and scholars of philosophy, yoga, and Indian religious history.
