MS Add. 1577 (detail)
The Sanskrit Manuscripts Project, Cambridge, has recently launched its own website with full details about the project, news and features on some of the manuscripts at the University Library. A recent post by Dr. Camillo Formigatti highlights MS Add. 1577, a polychrome charm (yantra) against lightning made of seven intertwined letters (kūṭākṣara, monogram script): ya, ra, va, la, ma, kṣa and ha.
