Miscellaneous Notes

Among the topics dealt in this text bherītāḍana (fol. 10a) is stated to have been taken from the kāraṇāgama (see fol. 11a). Several passages dealing with sandhyāvāhana and sandhi bear close similarity to the treatment of these matters in aghora'sivācārya's mahotsavapaddhati. The treatment given here differs from IFI.T. 568 pp. 185-217. Fol. 1a contains a brief note on astrological matter (Tamil), fol. 5a balikrama etc. 5b contains reference to navaśaktipūjana and pañcaśaktipūjana, 6a contains some astrological matter, 11a contains notes on occasions like yajña when there is no āśauca to the performer (of the rites), 11b contains notes on the various places in the maṇḍapa like, eastern gate for deities like brahmā, fol. 38 enumeration of things of good and bad omens, fol. 40 contains dhvajadaṇḍādilakṣaṇa, fol. 47b contains śloka-s. Fols. 1b, 6b, 38b and 57b are blank
