Manuscript Features

For this MS the NGMPP catalogue card refers to “BSP 4.2, pp. 187f”, but since the MS bears the accession no. 5-5097, this reference rather seems generally to refer to the section of Śivatāṇḍavatantras in BSP 4.2. Furthermore, on the catalogue card of the NAK as viṣaya saṃkhyā is given Śaivatantra 1475, but on the catalogue card of the NGMPP is given Śaivatantra 1495.

Text b covers part of the Caturdaśapaṭala (until the end of the 14th chapter).

1. Śivatāṇḍavatantra (exps. 3t–50t, fols. 1–48)
2. Śivatāṇḍavatantra (exps. 50b–65b, fols. 16–32)
