Kriyāsaṃgrahapañjikā (क्रियासंग्रहपञ्जिका) within Tantric Buddhism Tantric Buddhism represents a construction manual for monasteries, written by Kuladatta who teaches details of various kinds of rituals within this framework. For example—In chapter 2, having examined the site for a monastery and removed from the site extraneous substances that cause various calamities, the officiant (Ācārya) should visualise the site, which has been divided into eighty-one compartments, as the Vajradhātumaṇḍala.

The Kriyāsaṃgrahapañjikā is practical in its character (Tanemura 2004, 104–111). For instance, the measurements of a monastery by calculation based on the prescriptions of the vāstunāga are very close to those of the plans of Cha Bahi and I Baha Bahi in the Kathmandu valley. See Tanemura 2002, 572, note 29.
