Niśisaṃcāra (निशिसंचार) or Niśisaṃcāratantra is an ancient Tantra no longer extant.—An old palm-leaf manuscript of a Niśisaṃcāratantra is preserved in the National Archives at Kathmandu (Manuscript No. 1/1606, ‘Nepal German Manuscript Preservation Project’ reel no. B 26/25). 48 folios long, it is written in old Newari script. The first few folios are in disorder and the beginning and end is missing. Possibly because the manuscript is incomplete, no testimonia have been traced in the text to certify that this it is the one to which Abhinavagupta refers.
