The Yaksin-sdhana in the Kaksaputa-tantra:

Critical Edition, and
Translation
Introduction,
Chieko Yamano
The cult of yaksin is an important component of the medieval tantric

world and is practised in Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.1 The yaksin is

worshipped as the goddess of wealth or the guardian spirit of practitioners,
and the medieval tantric tradition featured groups of these deities, such as
eight yaksins, twelve yaksins, or thirty-six yaksins. Generally speaking,

the female deities, who are regarded as the consorts of the male deities,
play an important role in this tradition. The female and male principles
combine in tantric practice to produce the advaita (non-dual) reality. The
yaksin is sometimes compared to the yogin or dkin who plays the role of

the partner of the male practitioner. However, the origin of yaksin is

different from that of the yogin or dkin.
The cult of yaksin originated in ancient times. We can see their lavish

figures, which symbolise fertility, standing beside a tree, or trna, already
in the oldest Buddhist remains, including Bhrhut, Sc, and Mathur.

They also appear in the Jtaka literature, in which they are regarded as
local deities living in trees and sometimes referred to as rukkha-devat or
tree goddess.2 The yaksin of the medieval tantric tradition inherits

characteristics from the ancient yaksin.3 They have beautiful figures, and

On the cult of yaksin in Jainism, see Misra [1981: 125-131] and Cort [1987:

235-255].
2 For example, in the Bhsapuppha-jtaka (Jtaka III Pali Text Society: 307-310),
the yakkh who lives in a tree is called rukkha-devat. She gives instructions to the
1
bodhisattva and is regarded as a precious being.

The Yaksin-sdhana in the Kaksaputa-tantra (Yamano)

bear a distinct relationship to wealth and protection.

The Kaksaputa-tantra
The Chapter XIV of the Kaksaputa-tantra is dedicated to the yaksin

sdhana. Let us first take a brief look at the Kaksaputa-tantra. The
Kaksaputa-tantra is traditionally attributed to the famous Buddhist
philosopher Ngrjuna. All the manuscripts I employ in this paper contain

the phrase ngrjunaviracite (written by Ngrjuna) in the colophon of
every chapter. As far as I can say from my examination of the catalogues,
there is no instance of the tantra being attributed to another author.
However, the tantra is sometimes confused with the Siddhakhanda or
Mantrakhanda of the Rasaratnkara, written by Nityantha, and the
combination of the title and the author is sometimes confused [NCC III
110].
In maedieval India, Ngrjuna was worshipped as a siddha who was
accomplished in various magical sciences, such as rejuvenation and
alchemy. We find stories narrating his magical feats in the Buddhist, Hindu,
and Jain traditions.4 According to Yijing ( ) a Chinese monk who
travelled to India in the seventh centurythere was a corpus of magical
sciences called vidydharapitaka which included methods meant to
achieve such powers as flying to the sky, riding a dragon, and attaining a
long life. In addition, Yijing states that Ngrjuna had extensive knowledge
of the pitaka.5 The figure of Ngrjuna as a master of magical sciences
[1981], Shaw [2006] and [2012].

In the Hindu tradition, the Navanthacaritra contains the siddha Ngarjunas
biography. On the Buddhist biographies of siddha Ngrjuna, see [2008]; on the
Jain biographies of siddha Ngrjuna, see Phyllis Granoff [1988].

seems to have been already established in seventh-century India. The

Kaksaputa-tantra, otherwise known as Siddhangrjuna-tantra, is believed
to have been written in a tradition where Ngrjuna was worshipped as a

master of magical sciences, possibly around the tenth century.6
Even though it is attributed to Ngrjuna, the text contains no
Buddhist features and most of the references are cited from Hindu tantras.
It begins with devotional verses to iva and Sarasvat and contains various
mantras dedicated to, inter alia, iva, female deities, and yaksins. These

female deities and yaksins are common in both Buddhism and Hinduism.

The Kaksaputa-tantra is exclusively dedicated to sdhanas or magical
procedures which are intended to generate worldly benefits and do not deal
at all with philosophical subjects. These types of magical procedures are
sometimes formulated as the so-called satkarman in the Buddhist, Hindu,

and Jain traditions. These procedures include nti (pacifying diseases and
obstructions), Vakarana (controlling others), Stambhana (immobilizing
others), Ucctana (extirpating enemies), Vidvesa (provoking enmity), and
Mrana (killing others).7 Though there is no chapter in the tantra
dedicated to the nti, the Kaksaputa-tantra covers a variety of sdhanas.
The tantra lists the following divisions: Vaya (controlling others);

karsana (attracting others); Stambha (immobilizing others); Moha

(bewildering enemies); Uccta (extirpating enemies); Mrana (killing
others); Vidvesa (provoking enmity); Vydhikarana (causing illness);
Pauasyrthanana (causing loss of cattle, grain, and other properties);

Kautuka (conjuring tricks); Indrajla (creating illusions); Yaksinmantra
6 According to Somadeva Vasudeva, Ngrjunas Kaksaputa was mentioned in
Ksemendras Kalvilsa [Somadeva 2007].
7 However in the Jain tantra, the mrana (killing others) is replaced by the str
krsti (attracting women)[Cort 1987: 245-246].

154

sdhana (invoking yaksin); Cetaka (using as a slave); Ajana (eye

ointment); Adrya (becoming invisible); Pdukgati (magic shoes); Gutik
(magic pill); Khecaratva (going to the sky); and Mrtasamjvana (raising the
dead).8
It is interesting that medical substances, including various plants such
as gorocana (yellow orpiment from cattle), karpra (camphor), and
kunkuma (turmeric), are used in many sdhanas in the Kaksaputa-tantra.
In these sdhanas, the practitioner grinds and mixes the substances and
then makes an ajana (eye ointment), gutik (pill), or tilaka (mark on the
forehead) with the ground mixture; he then takes or wears the final
product. These kinds of sdhanas have a close relationship with those of
Rasastras. Nityanthas Rasaratnkara, mentioned previously, contains
a chapter considered to be the epitome of the Kaksaputa-tantra [Wujastyk
1984:75].
Because there are numerous manuscripts, along with some printed
editions of the Kaksaputa-tantra, we can suppose that the tantra had been
popular and well known in India until the modern era. These manuscripts
and printed editions can be roughly divided into two groups. The first
group contains around twenty chapters, while the second group has around
thirty chapters. Though the main difference between the two groups
comes from the division of chapters, there are many other divergences
such as additions and omissions, and some manuscripts show an irregular
order in terms of their chapters and contents. The manuscripts I employ
here belong to the first group. What follows is a summary of the contents of
the twenty chapters.
Chapter One opens with the devotional verses to iva and Sarasvat,
followed by a list of references and the table of contents. The chapter then
explains the classification of mantra, the way to establish the Krmacakra
8
Kaksaputa-tantra, chapter one, verse 6-9.
153

65
(tortoise-shape yantra), the classification of ml (rosary), the way of

recitation, the classification of date, seat, and place, the method of
breathing, the method of homa, the diet, and the seven methods to
empower mantras. These are the fundamentals necessary to perform all
following sdhanas.
Chapters Two through Six are dedicated to the sdhanas intended for
controlling or attracting others. Chapter Two describes the sarvavakarana (controlling all creatures); Chapter Three deals with the rjavaya
(controlling a king), the vivdajayalbha (winning a disputation), and the

dustadamanaprayoga (fleeing from bandits, savage beasts, and so forth);
Chapter Four is concerned with the strvaya and drvana (controlling and
enchanting a woman); Chapter Five concerns the pativaya (controlling a

husband); Chapter Six provides an account of the karsana (attracting

people).
Chapters Seven through Twelve are dedicated to the sdhanas
intended to hinder enemies and harm others. Chapter Seven is concerned
with various kinds of stambhana (immobilizing others), such as immobiliz
ing enemies movements, silencing opposition, restraining enemies from
attacking, and preventing fires; Chapter Eight deals with the senstambha
na (immobilizing armies in a battle); Chapter Nine gives an account of the
moha (bewildering enemies) and the ucctana (extirpating enemies);
Chapter Ten describes the mrana (killing enemies and exterminating
their families); Chapter Eleven is about vidvesana (provoking enmity),

vydhikarana (causing illness and impotence), and the pauasyrtha
nana (causing loss of cattle, grain and other properties); Chapter Twelve
gives an account of the unmankarana (causing derangement).
Chapters Thirteen through Eighteen deal with sdhanas that generate

various kinds of supernatural power. Chapter Thirteen describes the
indrajlavidhna (creating illusions); Chapter Fourteen gives an account of
the yaksinsdhana (yaksin invocation); Chapter Fifteen is concerned with

152
66

the jana (eye ointment) that makes buried treasures visible; Chapter
Sixteen concerns the nidhigrahana (finding treasures); Chapter Seventeen
describes the adryakarana (becoming invisible); Chapter Eighteen is
about the gutik (magic pill) or pduksdhana (magic shoes) that make it
possible to travel over a long distance or fly.

Chapters Nineteen and Twenty deal with special sdhanas. Chapter
Nineteen describes the mrtasajvan (raising the dead) and the
klavacana (cheating the time of death), including an account of the

klajna (knowing the time of death); Chapter Twenty gives an account
of the tyhramanhara (not overeating and fasting) that relieves hunger.
The conclusion summarizes all of these sdhanas.
The Yaksin-sdhana

It seems the yaksin-sdhana was formed in the early phase of the

tantric tradition. In the Jaykhyasamhit, generally dated to the Gupta
period,9 there is an early mention of the yaksin-sdhana. Based on this fact,

Miranda Shaw suggests that the yaksin-sdhana has its origin in the Hindu

tradition [Shaw 2009:271]. The yaksin-sdhana procedure appeared in the

Jaykhyasamhitand is relatively simple, but it contains the basic
components of the yaksin-sdhana of the later tantric tradition. Having

painted the picture of a yaksin on a silk cloth, a practitioner should recite a

mantra and offer the incense with guggulu for seven days. At midnight on
the seventh day, the yaksin appears and asks him what should I become

your mother, sister, or wife? The practitioner chooses one of these forms of
manifestation, and she will then serve him or give benefits to him according
Embar Krishnamacharya suggests that, from a palaeographical viewpoint, it
could date to 450 A.D. This is based on the fact that the name of each aksara
appears in Chapter VI of the Jaykhyasamhit [Embar 1967; 30-34]. However, it
seems that Chapter XXVI dates from a later period.

to her role.10
In Chinese translations of Buddhist tantras, the yaksin-sdhana

appeared as early as the eighth century. The Bu-kong-juan-ce-shen-bianzhen-yan-jing () might be the oldest translation that
mentions the sdhana. Having drawn the mandala on the ground using cow
dung and painted a picture of a yaksin in the centre, a practitioner

offers rice and incense to her. He then performs the homa while reciting the
mantras. While reciting each mantra, he should throw a poppy seed at the
yaksin. The yaksin appears and asks his wishes, to which the practitioner

answers, Please become my mother or wife. She will then serve him or
give benefits to him according to her role.11
The individual name and mantra of the yaksin is not mentioned here,

but most yaksin-sdhanas of the later tantric tradition contain them. Some

even provide a detailed account of their appearance.12 The place where the
practitioner practices as well as the offerings that he should prepare vary
depending on the yaksins character as we shall see later in the Kaksaputa
tantra.
In the yaksin-sdhana, the yaksin is regarded as the guardian spirit

who provides worldly benefits to the practitioner. The yaksin provides,

inter alia, daily food, clothing and money, tells the future, and bestows a
longlife, but she seldom becomes a partner in sexual practices.13
Jaykhyasamhit, chapter 26, verse 77-86.
(T no.1092): 20.323c
12 In the Majurmlakalpa, the figures of each yaksin are described. Some reside

in an aoka tree; some bear a branch in their hand. It seems they inherit the
10
11
attributes of tree goddesses from the ancient yaksin. For examples, see Natik

[Vaidya 1964: 441], Naravr [Vaidya 1964: 443], and Yaksakumrik [Vaidya 1964:
443]. Martin Delhey presented a critical edition of chapter 52 of the Majurmlakalpa in TIWET 2010. This chapter includes the yaksin-sdhana section. I have also

consulted to his text.
13 The yaksins who take the role of the wife are sometimes expected to be the

150
68

The yaksin is also regarded as the goddess of wealth. In the

Kaksaputa-tantra, the yaksins also appear in the Sarvjana-sdhana

Chapter, in which they bestow the divine ajana, which makes buried
treasure visible. The yaksa and yaksin have been worshiped as gods and

goddesses of fertility or wealth since ancient times. The yaksins in the

Kaksaputa-tantra seem to have inherited characteristics from the ancient
yaksin, but their character has slightly changed. Their relationship with

the earth and fertility is no longer noticeable, but their relationship with
dnra (gold coin) and rpya (silver coin) is conspicuous. At the same time,
their connection with a particular locality has also lost its importance.14
There exist numerous examples of the yaksin-sdhana in Buddhist

tantras. Among them, the Majurmlakalpa provides a detailed account
of the yaksin-sdhana, in which we can find different groups of yaksins:

eight yaksins, six yaksins, and five yaksins.15 As far as the Hindu tantras

are concerned, the sdhana of the thirty-six yaksins in the Uddmarevar
atantra is well known.16 The yaksin-sdhana of the Uddmarevara-tantra

has many parallels with the Kaksaputa-tantra. What follows is a
correspondence table between the Kaksaputa and the Uddmarevara.
sexual partner of the practitioner as, for instance, in the Majurmlakalpa. For
examples, see Bhatt [Vaidya 1964: 441], Vadh [Vaidya 1964: 444], Manoj
[Vaidya 1964: 445], Jay [Vaidya 1964: 447]. This, however, is one of the worldly
benefits which the yaksins bestow, not a tantric practice.

14 However, in the Jain tantra, they still have connections to particular localities.
They also have the role of the guardian of the trthas [Cort 1987: 240-243].
15 On the yaksin-sdhana in the Majurmlakalpa, see Shaw [2009].

Editorial Conventions
The manuscripts used for this edition represent only a small portion of
all the existent manuscripts. They all are dated to the seventeenth century
or later and are rife with errors. Since it is difficult to pinpoint one or
several of them as archetypal or consistently reliable, I decided to
transcribe all of them. My critical apparatus, has, therefore, recorded all
variants except those due to simple errors and mere orthographical
differences. As is true of most Nepalese manuscripts, there is no difference
between b and v; it is also difficult to distinguish between preconsonantal
or postconsonantal p and y. (My reading is, therefore, based upon this
general knowledge.) The anusvra sometimes substitutes for the nasal
143

75
consonants; single consonants geminate after r; geminate consonants

sometimes become single consonants; and the avagraha is rarely used.
Besides these common orthographical variants, we can see the following
variants in each manuscript.
K3: aihai, stst
K4: no difference between postconsonantal u and

aihai, kscch, khs, yj, rl, s,
omission of m/h/r at the end of a word

-yet(optative)-yat
K9: khs, rl
K10: s
K12: skh,
omission of m/h/r at the end of a word

L2: khs, yj, s
In terms of sources, I place higher value on the manuscripts than on

the printed editions, but I sometimes adopted the former editors' reading
when I could not construct a meaningful sentence from the manuscripts.
This means this is an eclectic edition rather than a reconstruction of the
assumed archetype or hyparchetype.
