Title Catuṣpīṭhatantra

Remarks This is in fact the Yogāmbarasādhanavidhi of Jagadānandajīvabhadra, a Nepalese author of the 13th century. The Tibetan translation is canonical (Tōh. 1611). There it is said that the Sanskrit manuscript was obtained from the chief disciple/son of the author, Mahābodhi, hence the approximate date. The work later achieved something akin to scriptural status, perhaps this is the source of the misidentification. Many mss. of this work survive, this is relatively the best one. (PS)
