Dear Indologists,

Maybe someone can help me in checking a passage

I need to check an indirect reference to

Narendra Nath Bhattacharyya, History of the Tantric Religion: A Historical, Ritualistic and Philosophical Study (New Delhi: Manhoar, 1982), p. v:

"In the greatest of all [pIThas], the yoginI-pITha, the religion is considered to be that of the kirAtas. There is no renunciation or long [penance] in KAmarUpa, O Beloved. Meat is not forsaken there, and there is no celibicy ...In KAmarUpa, ducks, pigeons, tortoises, and boars are eaten"

I found this qute in Hugh B Urban, The Power of Tantra: Religion, Sexuality and the Politics of South Asian Studies (New York: I.E. Tauris, 2010), 45.

I argue that Bhattacharyya based its affirmations on YoginI Tantra, but I would like to know if there is any bibliographical note for this short paragraph.

Best,
Paolo
