Source: escholarship: Gāruḍa Medicine: A History of Snakebite and Religious Healing in South AsiaTantrasāra (तन्त्रसार) (or Bṛhattantrasāra) by Kṛṣṇānanda Vāgīśa’s (i.e., Kṛṣṇānanda Āgamavāgīśa Bhaṭṭācārya) is a Tantric digest composed in Bengal in the last part of the sixteenth century and still widely influential there today. The section of most interest, labeled “garuḍamantra” begins with a coded version of the Vipati-mantra, apparently drawn from the Śāradātilaka because the verse is identical. What follows, not drawn from the Śāradātilaka, is a relatively detailed summary of the major ancillary mantras, nyāsa procedures, and visualization to be used with the Vipati for curing snakebite. [...] The Tantrasāra (Bṛhattantrasāra) also has passages on Tvaritā and Bheruṇḍā vidyās, but only in their identities as Nityā goddesses, and without any association with snakebite.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
