My dissertation consists of three parts.  Part I is an introduction, with linguistic and philological commentary, to the Old Javanese-Sanskrit Śaiva text forming the main focus of the book, namely the Dharma Patañjala, preserved in a single codex of West Javanese origin dating back to the 15th century CE. Part II is an edition (diplomatic with facsimile reproductions as well as critical) and translation of  the Dharma Pātañjala. Part III is an (in)dependent treatise, which focuses on the interpretation of its doctrines in comparison with related Sanskrit scriptures from the Indian Subcontinent and Old Javanese texts from the Indonesian Archipelago.
