It was composed in the eastern area of the Indian subcontinent sometime between the late 10th and 12th centuries, and its extant version was most likely compiled around the early 12th century. Chapter 15 of the D?a?ka?rn?ava, (hereafter D?a?ka?rn?ava 15) teaches a large-scale and elaborate man?d?ala of the highest god Heruka that comprises 986 major deities. This monograph presents the first critical edition and English translation (with annotation) of the Sanskrit text of the D?a?ka?rn?ava 15, elucidates its form and meanings, and clarifies its significance in the history of Buddhism in South Asia. I also provide the first critical edition and English translation (with annotation) of Jayasena's Ratnapadmara?ganidhi ("Precious Ruby Treasury," composed in the 12th century), which is the oldest manual for visualizing the Heruka man?d?ala of the D?a?ka?rn?ava 15. In the last stage of the history of Tantric Buddhism in India, when various Buddhist Tantric traditions were already present, some texts were composed, such as the Ka?lacakratantra and the Vajra?vali? of Abhaya?karagupta. These texts provide inclusive Tantric systems in which various preceding traditions are integrated and reorganized. The D?a?ka?rn?ava is one such text. The Heruka man?d?ala in the D?a?ka?rn?ava 15 is comprehensive and integrates deities from various Tantric traditions and components of the Buddhist cosmos within the framework of the Sam?vara system. 517 $aOcean of Heroes 606 $aSongs (Medium voice) with piano 615 0$aSongs (Medium voice) with piano. 676 $a782.420904 700 $aSugiki$b Tsunehiko$01304666 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688166603321 996 $aThe Ocean of Heroes$93027568 997 $aUNINA
