dri (དྲི) refers to “perfume” which is mentioned as an offering suitable for Yoga practice, according to the Bohitā commentary on the 10th-century Ḍākārṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Accordingly, “[...] A Yogin should offer water for a respectful reception and so on (e.g., dri, ‘perfume’) after a sipping water for purification and others. Employing an image, the Blessed One taught a visualization by [use of] a cloth [painting] and other [devices]. [...]”.

Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.

context information

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.
