Vivekamārtaṇḍa (विवेकमार्तण्ड) is the original name of the text now more commonly known as the Gorakṣaśataka or Gorakṣasaṃhitā, a treatise on haṭhayoga attributed to Gorakṣanātha. The work represents a vlassical verse work on Yoga, in favour of the viewpoint of the Natha school. Several editions of the work exist, the best being that of Nowotny (1976), in which khecarīmudrā is described at 64-69 and 138-152. This mention of a known work provides us with a terminus a quo for the Khecarīvidyā.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
