Aside from the frequent alchemical references, and the salutation of Siva as Natha, the work itself has a distinctly Saivite slant, indicated by the frequent references to worshipping Siva, the use of rudraksa berries, the pre-eminence of ash and other symbolism.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Summing it up as &#8220;a tantra of some great importance to history,&#8221; Magee states, &#8220;I have tried to elucidate difficult points in the notes.
