Jīrṇoddhārāṣṭabandhanavidhi

This text deals with the rules for making the mortar called aṣṭabandhana while renovating the shrine of devī mentioned here by the names umādevī, parameśvarī, sundarī and ambā. Several items, such as kumbhasthāpana, navakalaśasthāpana, puṇyāha and saṃkocavidhi are treated here. This text appears to be a commentary on a manual dealing with jīrṇoddhārāṣṭabandhana as indicated by the beginning "atha praveśabalyanantaram" followed by "ityādi". There is a Ms. IFI. RE. 20180 which contains at the beginning few folios and has at the end a reference to the title as kāṃikoktāṣṭabandhanakriyākrama on fol. 4b which only states the order in which the rites are to be performed. The author of the commentary in the text under notice is not known
