1. Maitrāyaṇī Sam̐ hitā I 9 Maitrāyaṇī Sam̐ hitā (MS) I 9 is called caturhotr̥ chapter. Caturhotr̥ is the name of a formula pr̥ thivī́hótāthivī́thivī́hótā, dyáur adhvaryús, tváṣṭāgnī́ntváṣṭāgnī́ tváṣṭāgnī́n, mitrá upavaktā́,upavaktā́ upavaktā́, and when it is used in plural, it represents the caturhotr̥ , pañcahotr̥ , saptahotr̥ , and daśahotr̥ formulas. 1) This chapter teaches the use of the caturhotr̥ formulas in the śrauta rituals, but these formulas are, quite strangely, mentioned nowhere in MS except I 9. That means the use of the caturhotr̥ formulas was not generally accepted at the time of composing the main part of MS. 2) This chapter contains also esoteric rites that have never been identified with any śrauta ritual until now. This paper will provide a new finding that the caturhotr̥ chapter contains the teaching about sattra, dvādaśāha, and mahāvrata that are not orthodox-śrauta rituals. 3) These are dealt not in MS, but in the sattra chapters of Kaṭha-and Taittirīya-Sam̐ hitā (KS and TS). In § 3 below the contents of the caturhotr̥ chapter in MS are contrasted with those of the sattra chapters in KS and TS. 2. Mahāvrata Before examining the texts, I will provide the background information about sattra, dvādaśāha, and mahāvrata. We can reconstruct a ritual cycle of the year-long sattra (gavāmayana sattra), that ends at the end of the year. It concludes with the twelve-day rite (dvādaśāha) that includes ten nights (daśarātra) and the next day after that, i.e., the 11th day of the twelve days as well as the penultimate day from the year end, that is, the mahāvrata day, 4) at which a kind of new-year rite is performed. This mahāvrata rite is known with some characteristic ritual actions: ritualistic sexual intercourse, recitation of special sāmans and "mahad uktha," and riding on a swing by a hotr̥. 5)

Kriyāsaṃgraha: Compendium of Buddhist RitualsThe present publication essentially represents an abridged version of the entire Kriyāsaṃgraha. The basic structure, the chapter divisions, the sequence of the exposition within the chapters, and the laconic style, have been retained. Some sections of the original text have been paraphrased, some summarized, some translated, and some omitted altogether. The content and lay out of the pdf file included here is the same as in the original publication, but the pagination is different.

Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit / Tibetan Translation / English Translation of the "Seven Part Worship" section of the Bhadracarīpraṇidhānam (vv. 1-12). Note: I made this as an exercise for myself. The BHS and Tibetan texts are simply intended to be readable versions, not proper editions.
The rite of hiraṇyagarbha (literally 'golden womb') is a unique rite, which, since its inception, remained an expiatory rite in its core, even after being transformed by the purāṇic ritualists as a rite of great gift (mahādāna). From the 4th century of the Common Era to almost up to the modern period, this rite was performed by a significant number of rulers, mostly from the marginal social groups, in different regions of South Asia. This rite became essential for their acceptance in the Brahmanical social order, in order to establish the authority over the subjects equal to the other rulers from the elite social classes.
