In Buddhism

Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)

Jyotirmañjarī (ज्योतिर्मञ्जरी) by Abhayākaragupta is an elaborate homa manual.—Abhayākaragupta composed the discourse on the forms of fire pits in the external homa section of his Jyotirmañjarī, particularly relying on the chapter of the external homa ritual (Chapter 48) in the Vajraḍāka. It seems that Jayasena used Abhayākaragupta’s Jyotirmañjarī because the Ḍākārṇava did not include a discourse that expounded ways to prepare and perform the external homa ritual in detail. Abhayākaragupta is also known as the author of the Āmnāyamañjarī , an extensive commentary on the Sampuṭodbhava. The Sampuṭodbhava also has a chapter that explains the forms of fire pits. However, the discourse on the forms of fire pits in the Vajraḍāka is more similar to the discourse on the same topic in the Jyotirmañjarī.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
