ABSTRACT
The RT is by all standards a late Tantra, seldom quoted by Tantric authorities and little studied today. While most manuscripts of the text are found in Bengal, some can be found in Orissa, North India, and Nepal, and their number is fairly large. The New Catalogus Catalogorum (Raghavan 2011: 11) lists 42, though some of these manuscripts appear to be lost. Something in the text was thus deemed valuable to disseminate.
