Miscellaneous Notes
This is a manual dealing with festival and installation rituals and referring to several āgamic texts. Part 12 (pratiṣṭhopakaraṇa) and 33 (adhivāsana) are said to be chapters 1 and 16 respectively of the Kāraṇa but are not found in the printed edition of this āgama; parts 17 to 21 are also said to betaken from the kāraṇa (without precise references to chapters), but they are not found in the printed edition. Part 37 (śītakumbhavidhi) is referred as the 16th chapter of the suprabheda which has eventually the same title but there are numerous differences in the contents. Other parts refer to suprabheda (part 36), aṃśumat (part 29) and kāmika (parts 39 and 40) without precise references and are not found in the editions of these āgama-s; besides that, we may note other references to devīkālottara, makuṭa, vātula, vīra, siddhāntasārāvalī and svāyambhuva. Certain rites are to be performed according to bodhāyāna (fols.3b and 48a) and at times in accordance with one's own gṛhyasutra (fol.18a). The text contains the following mantra-s:- 1. cidāmbarapañcākṣaramahāmantra (fol.3a and 5b); 2. pāśupatāstramālāmantra (fol. 50a); 3. cidāmbaranaṭarājamantra (fol.51b); 4. khaḍgarāvaṇamantra (fol. 79a). Writting is in maṇipravāla on fols. 67a, 70a and 71a. 2 folios bear the same number 22, without affecting the contents. The fly leaf, containing the table of contents, is separetly numbered as 1
