Ṛṣṇḍ (ऋषिमण्डल) or Ṛṣṇḍstava is the name of a Tantric-like hymn in Sanskrit composed of 56 stanzas.—The Ṛṣṇḍ-stava starts with eight homage formulas and then goes on with the procedure of “assignment� to the various body parts, the drawing of magic diagrams, and the benefits from all these procedures in order to remove all sorts of obstacles. It is a teaching which should remain hidden from undeserving people. The Ṛṣis are the 24 Jinas. Neither the date of copy nor the name of the scribe are given.
