[INDOLOGY] Svarodaya

[David and Nancy Reigle]

Dear Matthew,

You very likely already know the three items about to be listed; but since
no one else has yet replied, at least publicly, I will go ahead with these.
Perhaps they will be of use if someone else tries to search svarodaya in
the future.

1. The *Yuddhajaya-* or *Yuddhajayārṇava-tantra-svarodaya* is found in
Tibetan translation in the Tengyur, Tohoku no. 4322. What seems to be a
Sanskrit manuscript of it is available at Archive.org, although I have not
checked to see if it is the same text.

2. The *Narapatijayacaryāsvarodayaḥ* is another old Sanskrit svarodaya
text. It is available at Archive.org in a printed edition:
https://archive.org/details/QwjT_narapati-jayacharya-svarodaya-of-shri-narapati-with-jaya-lakshmi-tika-of-harivansha-1946-khemar

3. The *Kālacakra-tantra* has a section on svarodaya in chapter 1, verses
95-127 (or 94-126 in the Shong ston version), which would have been written
prior to 1040 CE as determined by John Newman. As you know, my new edition
of this chapter has just been published: *Kālacakra-tantra: A Corrected
Edition along with Two Tibetan Translations*, vol. 1.

With best regards,

David Reigle
