Prapañcasāra Tantra (The Essence of Manifestation)

Adi Shankara

A Tantric manual in verse on the emanation of the cosmos from sound, the letters as divine powers, mantras, ritual diagrams and the worship of various deities. Its ascription to Śaṅkara served lineages that joined Advaita with Goddess worship; Arthur Avalon published it in 1914 in his series of Tantric texts.
