Sanskrit proper nouns are not capitalised to retain the ambiguity of abstract concepts such as 办耻峁囜笉补濒颈苍墨, 艣补办迟颈, 艣颈惫补 and brahman. Occasionally, I will deploy capitalising and non-italicising where the context indicates personified deities rather than concepts (i.e. 艢iva etc.). This is important for my argument as I do not wish to suggest 办耻峁囜笉补濒颈苍墨 or 艣补办迟颈 are only to be understood as anthropomorphic feminine deities. Throughout I include Sanskrit terms for the body and epithets for 办耻峁囜笉补濒颈苍墨 to indicate the range of terms used. Elsewhere I only include Sanskrit terms where it significantly clarifies the meaning.

Primary sources have been translated and paraphrased in English with the Sanskrit in appendices where not published (i.e. the 顿补迟迟腻迟谤别测补测辞驳补艣腻蝉迟谤补, 骋辞谤补办峁�a艣补迟补办补, 痴颈惫别办补尘腻谤迟补峁囜笉补 and 驰辞驳补产墨箩补). The Sanskrit for primary sources that are available in published editions has not been included. The editions that I refer to are indicated in the corpus summary in the introduction. Where I occasionally use different editions, this is referenced in the main body. The Sanskrit for wider literature has been included in footnotes when not readily available in published editions.

I do not offer new translations where suitable translations are available. Some sources are not available in translation, such as the 驰辞驳补产墨箩补, and in this case I offer translations. Unless indicated otherwise translations are my own.
