Manuscript Features
A combination of two Śivarātrivratakathā manuscripts: the first complete with 17 folios and the second incomplete with 5 folios. The extant folios of the second part are 1-2 and 34-36.
A folio in the end, written in a later hand, gives a very short Pañcavaktrapūjāvidhāna:
oṃ hūṃ śivāya nama (!) | oṃ hrīṃ tatpuruṣāya nama (!) || oṃ hraṃ aghorāya nama (!) || oṃ haiṃ vāmadevāya nama (!) || oṃ hrīḥ sadyojātāya nama || oṃ hreṃ śivāya svāhā || ityanena nevedyaṃ (!) dadyāt || svāhāṃte vācamanaṃ || aneneva (!) prakārena kuryāt dyāvāhanaṃ (!) nama (!) || antakāle mahākośe śivasyānucaroti (!) ca || puṣpāñjaliṃ traya (!) dadyāt || iti pañcavaktrapūjāvidhānaṃ || hūṃ ῑṣānāya namaḥ || bhavet || etc.
