Manuscript Features
The Sanskrit of this MS is quite corrupt, as can be seen from the excerpts.
Exps. 2–3 and 122–123 show two wooden cover leaves, painted on one side.
The first one shows Dakṣiṇakālī or Cāmuṇḍākālī, Vārāhī, a ṣoḍaśacakra, and Gaṇeśa. The painting of the other on is destroyed in many parts. Originally, four other gods or goddesses sitting in the lotus posture were depicted.
Before the text proper starts, there are two fols. giving a list of contents (called pañjikā, exp. 4–7).
All fols. are worm-eaten, a greater number of akṣaras has been damaged on fols. 111–113.
The text proper ends on fol 112v (lines 3–5), but is enframed by the following verses, covering lines 1–2 and 6:
- oṁ
- ekāgulaṃ bhavet mṛtyu 1 dvāgulan tu parājaya 2
- tyaṃgulaṃ ca bhavet sokaṃ 3 pratiṣṭhā caturāgulaṃ 4
- paṃcāgulaṃ tu m<ref name="ftn1">The sound m is inserted here to avoid the hiatus.</ref> āyāsaṃ 5 ⁅śrīlā⁆bhaṃ ca ṣaḍāgulaṃ 6
- duḥkhañ ca saptāgulaṃ 7 arthalābhaṃ aṣṭāgulaṃ 8
- navamaṃ vittanāsaṃ ca 9 sobhā⁅gya⁆ṃ daśamāguḷaṃ 10
- rājabhogyaṃ ekādaśaṃ 11 dvādaśāṅgulaṃ visvaghātaṃ ||
- vastraccheda ||
On fols. 112 and 113 there are two tables, one of them giving seven aṣṭakas with sets of numbers connected with the seven days of the week, each aṣṭaka beginning with one of the days of the week, as candrāṣṭaka, kujāṣṭaka etc.
On fol. 113v there is a small portion in Newari describing the drawing of certain diagrams.
A short description of this MS is also to be found in BSP vol. 1 p. 17, viṣayāṅka 17.
