| 10. Remarks | This text has sections on the origin and classification of the Sri devil, as well as the invocation of the Sri, the chase of the Sri, the capture of the Sri, and the suppression of the Sri. The text differs from the general literature on the rituals of the Sri, the storyline and style are very much in the genre of oral folklore, especially in the structure of the story – although the whole has been reorganized as a tantric text, but the traces of oral folklore are evident. the name of the writer or copyist with the name of the place where it was done is mentioned at the end, but it is unrecognisable as the paper is tattered. |
