Miscellaneous Notes
Copied from a MS from Kilvelur [as a supplement from Tiruvavaduturai, paṭalas 64 & 75 are also given] [MS begins with a list of contents; the text starts from p. 3]. There are four extra pages in the beginning, the first of which record the contents of the text and the fourth has a note which reads: vīrāgamaḥ
veeragama
The vīrāgama manuscript belongs to śrī Akṣayaśivācārya, son of late śrīkalyānaśivācārya of kilvelur, Tanjore Dt. There are 111 palm leaves in the manuscript, each leaf measuring 45 cm by 3.5 cm generally there are eight lines per page. This āgama is given as being told to Brahmā by śiva. There are ninety paṭalas in this āgama. The total number of ślokas here in are 3777. The manuscript stops abruptly in the middle of ninetien paṭala, which in itself is incomplete. The author of the work generally gives at the end of paṭalas, the subject matter of the subsequent paṭalas. As the subject matter differs in some paṭalas, it may be taken that some paṭalas are missing. Like the other āgamas, this given in detail, the rules and regulations regarding the installations of various deities and the different modes of their worships, in all aspects. (pratiṣṭhāvidhi and pūjāvidhi). The seventyfifth paṭala, skandapratiṣṭhā of this āgama is identical with the skandapratiṣṭhā in dīptāgama. From the mention of the name of brahma in that paṭala. I think, that this skandapratiṣṭhā is an interpolation in Dīptam, taken from veeram. Page [403] to [412] are the extra portions of the paṭalas 65 and 75
