Manuscript Features

The foliation on the second folio, which is blurred and has been rewritten by a later hand as 2, is wrong. The second last folio (no. 27) is covered with another text and ends: iti maṃgalapūjā samāpta(!) || , the last folio is filled with stanzas.

In the beginning five extra folios are found, the first three and last two of which belong together. The first begins:

❖ tilayātrapūjā || aghorena(!) kṛtakarāṅgaṃ nyāsaṃ kṛtvā || arghapātrārccanaṃ || ātmapūjā ||

The fourth begins: ❖ kaliṅgadesaśaṃjāta visākha kāsyapānvaya | kṣatriyorudevatyaṃ divākaraḥ(!) namo stu te || 1 ||
