In the esoteric section of the Tangyur there are seven works on the ritual of oblation (Skt. bali, Tib. gtor ma) attributed to Dīpaṃkaraśrījñāna. These are six writings, the Balividhi, Mahākālabali, Amṛtodayabalividhi, *Jalabalivimalagrantha, Nāgabalividhi, *Balipūjavidhi, and one translation, the Caturmahārājabali. Although each of them is a small work on a manual of this ritual, the Amṛtodayabalividhi is a little bit longer than other works because it is a commentary on some manual of the ritual of oblation. Therefore I will introduce the contents of the shorter six works in this paper and will discuss this commentary in another paper. The ritual of oblation is one of the rituals to offer foods to some specific guests like deities and is well known as a ritual of Torma in Tibet. We know another ritual of offering (pūjā) in which they give some materials like flowers, incenses, lamps, and foods in India, but the ritual of oblation apparently differs from that of offering. As Abhayākaragupta explains this ritual in his Vajrāvalī, it is performed for the specific guests for a special purpose. It is said in the beginning of the explanation on the forty-eighth ritual of oblation:
