The Ahirbudhnya Samhita (Sanskrit: अहिर्बुध्न्यसंहिता, romanized: Ahirbudhnyasaṃhitā) is a Hindu Vaishnava text belonging to the Pancharatra tradition. It is a Tantrika composition, composed possibly over several centuries within the 1st millennium CE, most probably at 200 CE.[1][2] Ahirbudhnya Saṃhita literally means a compendium (samhita) of the serpent-from-the-depths (from ahi for serpent and budhna for bottom/root).[2][3] It is now practically extinct, with a few remnants preserved in southern India, though it was once recorded to be present in diverse places, including Kashmir, Orissa, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka.[1]
