| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I have made the first critical Sanskrit editions and English translations of the major 33 chapters (viz., 1st, 7th, 8th, 10th-22nd, 24th, 29th, 30th, 32-38th, 41st-45th, 48th, and 50th chapters) of the Vajradakatantra, a Buddhist Tantric scripture composed sometime between the 9th and the 11th centuries), with preliminary philological analyses of their contents. Furthermore, I have completed Sanskrit critical editions of some chapters (viz., 4th-7th chapters) of Kambala's Sadhananidhi, which I consider to have close relation to the Vajradakatantra. I have published some of these in the internationally open journals. I plan to publish all the rest in the near future.
