Selected chapters from the Ocean of Ḍākas

This document contains the author's original English translations and Sanskrit editions of the hitherto unpublished chapters 24, 25, 48, 49 and 51 of a Buddhist tantra, the Ocean of Ḍākas, a.k.a. Ḍākārṇava. The chapter translations draw on the Tibetan translation, the Dpal mkha’ ’gro rgya mtsho rnal ’byor ma’i rgyud kyi rgyal po chen po (Derge printing No. 372). While interpretation of the Tibetan text tends to be determined by the Sanskrit text, discrepancies between the two are duly noted here. These translations and editions were produced between 2017 and 2025 for '84000: Translating the Words of the Buddha' as part of an associated group translation project.
