The Charyapada (Assamese: চর্যাপদ Sôrzapôd, Charjyagiti; Bengali: চর্যাপদ, is a collection of mystical poems, songs of realization in the Vajrayana tradition of Buddhism from the tantric tradition in Bengal. It was written in Proto-Bengali between the 8th and 12th centuries and it is said to be the oldest collection of verses written in those languages. A palm-leaf manuscript of the Charyapada was rediscovered in the early 20th century by Haraprasad Shastri at the Nepal Royal Court Library. The Charyapada was also preserved in the Tibetan Buddhist canon.
