About the Book

The Nisvasa Tattva Samhita is a landmark scholarly edition of one of the earliest surviving scriptures of the Śaiva Tantric tradition. This volume presents a critical Sanskrit text along with a detailed and annotated English translation of the Mulasutra, Uttarasutra, and Nayasutra, offering invaluable insight into the origins and development of early Śaiva theology, ritual practice, and philosophical doctrine. Carefully reconstructed from manuscript sources, the work highlights the foundational role of the Nisvasa corpus in shaping later Śaiva Tantric literature. With its rigorous philological scholarship and contextual analysis, this book is an essential reference for scholars of Indology, Sanskrit studies, Tantra, and South Asian religious history.
