Beginning with Sanskrit sources that explain the development of kila lore on the southern side of the Himalayan divide, the discussion then presents the Tibetan texts that show us just how this lore was assimilated upon its transmission to the north. Included herein are two short tantras of Vajrakila and a full translation of the most important commentary ever written on the subject of kila rites and their practice for enlightenment. Composed by Padmasambhava, Vimalamitra and Shilamanju, all evidence points to the fact that this remarkable text marks the very origin of the tantric Buddhist cult of the wrathful deity Vajrakila.
