A two-volume edition appeared in 1926 and 1939. It relies on two privately held manuscripts from Kashmir. According to the editor, neither manuscript is very old, dating perhaps to the early nineteenth century. The Nepalese-German Manuscript Cataloging Project holds microfilms of twenty manuscripts that bear the title Netrajñānārṇavatantra, and three manuscripts that carry the names Amṛteśatantra, Mṛtyujitāmṛtīśamahābhairavatantra, and Mṛtyujidamṛteśatantra.
