Besides the above-mentioned works, the following works and MSS. in the different sections of the Catalogue deserve special mention.
A. ORIGINAL TANTRAS. (1) General.
The Vira-tantra (5925-7) which deals with the worship of Kāli, Tārā and other deities, specially in connection with left-handed worship, has a very unsatisfactory text. The first four chapters agree in all the three MSS. Chapters 5-10 in 5925 agree with chapters 5-11 in 5927. The last four chapters in 5927, however, have no corresponding matters in any of the other two MSS., the concluding chapters of which agree but for the chapter numbers 1.
1 Chaptors 10, 11 and 13 of 5925 agree respectively with chapters 5, 6 and 8 of 5926 which has no colophon for chapter 7.
