Description
 
The Vrttamalastuti or "Praise in the Form of a Garland of Metres Counted by Syllables" is a unique piece of literature composed by Jnanasrimitra, who taught Buddhist philosophy and other subjects at the university of Vikramasila in the first half of the eleventh century. This work illustrates 150 meters in the form of a hymn, as indicated by its title. The addressee is the Bodhisattva Manjushri. With great ingenuity, Jnanasrimitra manages to include the name of each meter in the respective stanza in such a manner that it becomes a natural part of the praise of Manjushri.

In Devanagari, with Foreword and Introductions in English. Hardcover, 187 pages.
