Introduction Tantras, Agamas and Samhitás constitute a major branch of religious literature in Sanskrit. According to one account there are more than two hundred works of different size and variety pertaining to this interesting field of study. The general features of this class of literature can be specified under four heads, viz., Jaina or knowledge and its nature; Yoga or the concentration of mind and the various means of attaining the same: Kriya or construction of temples and the consecration of idols in temples for worship and Carya the religious rites, social institutions and observances.

Preface The Tantrasamuchchaya is a collection of subjects dealing with the rituals of consecration, daily worship, festivals and other kindred matters of the deities in temples which are elaborately explained in the ancient original Tantric literature. It is now accepted as the highest authority in the Kerala countries on matters connected with the temple worship. But the work presents difficulties in the way of many who wish to study it; namely, copies of the work are rarely accessible, and the text, dealing as it does with recondite subjects stands in need of a commentary. To re move these difficulties, the work is now published along with a commentary.
