The Ratnapadmarāganidhi is one of the oldest ritual manuals which has been composed based on the Ḍākārṇava, and its author, Jayasena, was the leading specialist in this scriptural tradition in the 12th century in Kathmandu, composing several manuals (including the Ratnapadmarāganidhi) based on the Ḍākārṇava.
