[Footnote 292:  The doctrine of the Adi-Buddha is fully stated in the metrical version of the Karanda-vyuha which appears to be a later paraphrase of the prose edition.  See Winternitz, Gesch.  Ind.  Lit.  II. i. 238.]

[Footnote 294:  Or Vajracarya-arhat-bhikshu-buddha, which in itself shows what a medley Nepalese Buddhism has become.]

[Footnote 296:  Dedicated to the sacred river Vagvati or Bagmati.]

[Footnote 297:  Hardly any Buddhist Tantras have been edited in Europe.  See Bendall, Subhashita-sangraha for a collection of extracts (also published in Museon, 1905), and De la Vallee Poussin, Bouddhisme, Etudes el Materiaux.  Id. Pancakrama, 1896.

While this book was going through the press I received the Tibetan Tantra called Shrichakrasambhara (Avalon’s Tantric Texts, vol.  VII) with introduction by A. Avalon, but have not been able to make use of it.]
