Dear A1, cc. Dear Do,
I am trying hard to read padma[na](ya)nāya in place of your paścamaXnāya but śca looks really śca.
I am strongly tempted to read vajradhara instead of your vaśadhara,
On the side of each mā I fancy seeing a tiny pṛṣṭha-anusvāra.
With love,
Di

Dear Arlo
thank you for sharing this fascinating material. As for the former, while Kuṣmāṇḍa seems to be common in Sanskrit sources, I wonder whether the fact that this demon/Rudra is associated with Śaivism is relevant in the context of a Vaiṣṇava (?) mantra. Also, perhaps more relevantly, in Nayasūtra (of the Niśvāsatattvasaṁhitā) 1.106cd–108ab, Kuṣmāṇḍa is the demon invoked to punish those evil-minded ones who turn their backs to the Śaiva community to return to Vedic ritual – for a discussion and translation of this passage, see Judit Torzsok’s article in the volume Tantric Communities in Context, p. 213.
