Tantra texts/Woodroffe

[Fernando]

Arthur Avalon´s 3rd edition published in Madras by Ganesh & Co. seems to be
acceptable. At least I found it acceptable myself though I don`t enjoy his
commentaries very much. But the translation text is fine.
I don´t know other translation, but it may exist.


Cordially, Fernando
