Sūxīdì jiéluó gòngyǎng fǎ 蘇悉地羯羅供養法 (recension B)

Method of Offering of the Susiddhikara (recension B, 2 fascicles) by 善無畏 (Śubhakarasiṃha, 譯)

About the work

The two-fascicle alternative recension of the Sūxīdì jiéluó gòngyǎng fǎ (companion to KR6j0063 = T894a in three-fascicle form). The two recensions differ in arrangement and length but share the same core ritual content of the Susiddhikara offering sequence.

Abstract

The two-fascicle recension represents an alternative arrangement of the same Tang Esoteric ritual material. The two recensions (T894a and T894b) likely reflect different editorial reorganisations of Śubhakarasiṃha’s translation work — one preserving the original three-fascicle structure, the other consolidated to two fascicles.

The translation dates from Śubhakarasiṃha’s Chángān period (724–735).

Translations and research
