DOWNLOAD (English, 20MB):

English annotation by Vishnudut1926: The main Tantra of Shree Ramanuja-Sampradaya and the favourite Tantra of this blog's creator (that is by Vishnudut1926), of course! 
Enhanced and optimized scan - just 20MB in black-and-white + OCR-text-layer in English. 
The English translation by Sanjukta Gupta is very good, but don't forget that 2 Sanskrit-Hindi editions also exist: 

1. By Sudhakara Malaviya (#scan on archive.org) and 
2. By KapilaDeva Narayana (seems that nobody had made a scan yet, but I personally have a paper version in my home library - it is very good).
