520 $a The thesis concludes that a study of images in some instances allows for the identification of texts, further enhancing our understanding of Buddhist ideology.
520 $a This thesis discusses the Buddhist monastic site of Ratnagiri in Orissa, India during the 7th through the 13th centuries. A study of the sculptures and votive stupas at Ratnagiri identifies both specific texts and types of texts used at the site, affording a glimpse of the Buddhism practiced during the aforementioned period.
520 $a Chapter I introduces the subject and Chapter II discusses the historical, literary and inscriptional material found at, or relevant to, the site. In the last section of Chapter I, a distinction is made between two phases of tantric Buddhism. The first is identified as Mantrayana, which relies on the kriya and carya tantras and makes extensive use of dharanis and mantras. The second is Vajrayana, which relies on systematized initiations, the teacher and the texts the anuttarayoga tantras. On the whole a study of the sculptures at Ratnagiri identifies it as predominantly a Mantrayana site, since a majority of the texts used were kriya tantras.
520 $a Chapter III discusses the sculptures that indicate this Mantrayana affiliation. These sculptures include most of the Buddha images and the compassionate bodhisattvas Amoghapasa, Mahakaruna Lokesvara and Tara. Manjusri in keeping with his important role in the kriya tantras, is depicted in tantric form at Ratnagiri. Two dharanis inscribed on sculpture and votive stupas describe the installation of stupas and the merit to be gained by those who install them. One of these dharanis is included in the kriya tantra section of a thirteenth century catalogue of texts, suggesting its importance to followers of this type of Buddhism.
520 $a Less sculptural evidence of Vajrayana Buddhism is found, and this, dating from the 9th century onward, is discussed in Chapter IV. The program of Temple 4, with three male figures representing the three yogins of the Guhyasamaja tantra, is a rare sculptural group in India that can be identified with an anuttarayoga tantra. Additional sculptures at the site, including four carvings of Heruka, suggest a familiarity with other tantras of the anuttarayoga class.
