This volume represents the work done by the author as a Government Research Scholar in Iconography from 1920-1924.

For the research of this book the author travelled to the museums of Calcutta, Patna, Dacca, Sarnath, Lucknow, Mathura, Ajmer, the caves of Ajanta and Ellora and to the excavations of Nalanda and Vikrampur (the seat of Bengal Buddhism).The book is divided in 12 chapters that deal with the emanations of the various gods in the Buddhist pantheon such as the Buddhas and Bodhisattawas, Manjusri, Avlokteshvara, Amitabha, Asokbhya, Vairocana Maogh sidhi, Ratnasambhava and the Dhyani Buddhas.
