The Purana (पà¥à¤°à¤¾à¤�, purÄṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.

In Buddhism

: academia.edu: A Critical Sanskrit Edition and a Translation of Kambala’s SÄdhananidhi, Chapter 8³¢²¹³¾²ú´Ç»å²¹°ùÄ« (लमà¥à¤¬à¥‹à¤¦à¤°à¥€) is the name of a deity associated with the syllable “laâ€� of the Heart Mantra of Heruka (³óá¹›d²¹²â²¹³¾²¹²Ô³Ù°ù²¹): one of the four major mantras in the Cakrasaṃvara tradition, as taught in the eighth chapter of the 9th-century HerukÄbhidhÄna and its commentary, the SÄdhananidhi. The Há¹›daya-mantra consists of twenty-two letters. [...] A practitioner in meditation visualizes that twenty-two deities [viz., ³¢²¹³¾²ú´Ç»å²¹°ùÄ«] are developed from the twenty-two letters constituting the mantra. Each letter of the mantra is used as the initial letter of each deity’s name except for the first and second deities, who are the chief couple deities and located at the center of the ³¾²¹á¹‡á¸²¹±ô²¹.

Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (±¹²¹Âá°ù²¹²âÄå²Ô²¹) are collected indepently.
