Summary
This text is classified as a Yogatantra. In India, this tantra was originally united with the following text in the Kangyur (Toh 488) as a single text. But in the Tibetan Kangyur they are represented as two individual texts, since different teams of translators rendered the two parts into Tibetan at different times. The teacher of the tantra is Vairocana. In this text the Buddha Vairocana first teaches seventeen pure states observed by bodhisattvas as they accomplish the perfection of insight. Next, over twelve chapters, Vairocana emanates a large number of maṇḍalas and he reveals the rituals and practices associated with these awakened environments.
