Miscellaneous Notes

This text begins with curṇotsvavidhi and ends with viśeṣāntyeṣṭividhi; it does not contain nirvāṇāntyeṣṭividhi. The second and the third fly-leaf contains a fragment of antyeṣṭi rite. Three more leaves numbered as 1, 2 and 3 following the said fly-leaves contain samayāntyeṣṭi and viśeṣāntyeṣṭi saṃkalpa-s. Fols. 26a-33a contain the tirukkāLatti tiruttāṇṭakam of appar for recitation at the end of the cūrṇotsava (of antyeṣṭi). Fols. 36a-37a contain a copy of the matter of fols. 1b-2a of the main text. Fol. 146 contains a list of the names of 37 tattva-s like, pṛthivī (each of which receive 3 fire oblations) total being 111 oblations. Sañcayana, is written on the margin of the fol. 146a, which means collection of bones after burning the body - on 2nd, 3rd or 4th day - and this fire ritual is to be performed on that day
