The traditions of oral ritual speech in the Himalayas have a lively existence alongside the written "great" traditions that predominate. But the oral traditions are still little known and even less understood. This collection of oral texts from Nepal, Bhutan, and northeast India is rich with translation and editorial interpretation.
