Manuscript Features
This MS incorporates really two incomplete MSS of the Adhikaraṇamālā (fols. 1–55, described in “excerpts”, and fols. 7–26, described below).
Exposure 2 shows a wooden cover-leaf. Exps. 3–4 top show an extra fol. containing a list of contents of the MS proper (consisting of fols. 1–55).
Next follows an extra fol. (exp. 4 bottom–5 top), containing some kind of dedication, written in Maithili characters, which starts thus:
- ❖ la saṁ 506 śrāvaṇavadi 2 candre e⟪di⟫ śrīratnāvatīdovī (!) tathā vachanādevī mahopādhyāyaśrīvaṃśamaniśarmmaṇo ṛṇanistārapatram arpayati …

- vāsantī śatapatrikāri ca kilaṃ mandāram arkkā(dva)yaṃ

- tamālatulasībilvaśamībhṛṅgārajodbhavaṃ |
- ketakīdūrvvayor ddhātryāṣ patraṃ dinakarā..yaṃ || …
Next, on the recto of fol. 1 of the MS proper of the Adhikaraṇamālā, another portion of the aforesaid Pūjanavidhi has been written (exp. 5 bottom).
Next follow fols. 1v–5v of the Adhikaraṇamālā.
There is another extra fol. on exp. 10 bottom-11 top, containing most probably another portion of the Adhikaraṇamālā (commenting on MīSū 8,2.21–23; written in Maithili characters, 5 lines per fol.) This unnumbered fol. seems to have originally belonged to the same MS as fols. 7–26 (exp. 70–90, see below).
Exp. 10 bottom starts thus:
- āmikṣāyāñ cintāntaraṃ saptame || āmikṣā kin dadhno vikāra uta payasaḥ tatrobhayor anvayād ubhayavikāra ity ākṣipya pūrvvapakṣasūtraṃ || dadhi saṃghātasāmyāt<ref name="ftn1">Cf.

Then, the Adhikaraṇamālā is continued (fol. 6–38 - the scribe skipping number “39” in foliation - 40–55). Between fols. 27 and 28, yet another, unnumbered fol. has been inserted, which possibly belongs to the same MS. It is commenting on MīSū 6,1.51.
On the verso of fol. 55, there is the ending portion of a chapter called puṣparahasya of a work named Rahasyakallolinī, which seems to be connected with Śākta (or Bauddha?) tantric rites.
- bilvapatreṇa saṃpūjya maṇḍale śuratāṃ labhet |
- nīlotpalaiḥ sarvvakāmān kumudaṃ kāmadaṃ bhavet |
- sarvveṣv api ca puṣpeṣu pālāśaṃ śre〇ṣṭham ucyate |
- aśokaṃ śokaharaṇaṃ devyāṣ prītikaraṃ paraṃ |
- namaskṛtya japen mantraṃ tatkṣaṇāt siddhidāyakaṃ |

- kiṃ punar bbahunoktena sarvvaśaktiṣu yac chubhaṃ |

- tasmāc chaktyānvitaḥ śakteṣ pūjāṃ kuryyād vicakṣaṇaḥ ||
- iti rahasyakallolinyāṃ puṣparahasyaṃ samāptaṃ || ||
Finally, there follow fols. 7–26 of another MS of the Adhikaraṇamālā, of which the initial and ending portions are given below.
