Manuscript Features
This Kāraṇḍavyūha is made scribed (likhāṃpitaṃ) by Dhanamunideva Vajrācārya, Mahāpātrakula, Vajradevīcaraṇasevaka from Khaṇḍacukagṛha at the east of Vantābāhara of Tarumūlamahāvihāra, Kathmandu during the reign of the king Pārthivendra Malla in NS 803 (1683 AD). It was donated by Ratnamuni Vajrācārya-Śākyabhikṣu and his son Padmasiṃha along with their family residing at South-West corner of Tarumūlamahāvihāra, Madutola, Kāṣṭhamaṇḍapamahānagara. It was made by Padmasiṃha Śākyabhikṣu arising virtue in his mind while he was working near by Akṣobhya Buddha's shrine at Coramūci (Jhoramuci), Hlāsā, Uttarāpantha (Tibet). He had commissioned three books Kāraṇḍavyūha, Aparamitā and Durgatipariśodhana written in gold and silver letters in the Kṛṣṇakāgatapatra (Nīlapatra). There are following bhāṣā (statement) made about reciting of this Kāraṇḍavyūha:
This should be recited during varṣavardhana (anniversary) along with recitation of Pañcarakṣā by its Guthi, keeping in display the Sukhāvatī pratibharāḍa (scroll painting of Sukhāvatī)
Dakṣiṇā should be given two phaṃ (prastha) of rice to Gurubharāḍa (Vajrācārya) for reciting (svādhyā yāṅā) books Paṃcarakṣā and Kāraṇḍavyūha.
This should be taken out (to display) during the function of Sanāthaguthi (death ritual).
An image (hmaṃ 1) of Ṣaḍakṣarīlokeśvara (should also be kept in display).
