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:

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.

Dear friends,

To pursue a query I began a few years ago and never followed up on:

Is there any scholarship that you are aware of, in the fields of Indian astrology, yoga, tantra, or medicine, on the works variously title Svarodayatantra, Śiva-svarodaya,

Svarodaya-vijñāna, etc.? I am primarily interested in older versions of these text, such as may have been in circulation before the fifteenth or sixteenth century.

I am of course familiar with Alain Daniélou's Le Shiva-Svarodaya: La naissance du Souffle de Vie (Milan 1982). Some searches on the internet have turned up a large number of modern Hindi translations and commentaries that seem mostly to be non-academic and concern popular astrology, ayurveda and the like - I imagine that the situation is similar in other modern Indian languages. (But I would welcome recommendations of works in Hindi that appear to be of value for academic research on the Sanskrit texts.)  

with thanks,

Matthew
