Miscellaneous Notes
This text contains arguments and quotations from the āgama-s to determine the pradoṣa-the 13th day of both the bright and dark halves of the month. The text briefly discusses about the exact time of the worship, etc., of śiva to be done on the day. The author's name is not given. Since there is no colophon to be found, the text seems to be incomplete. Fol. 181 contains a table of contents of the kālavidhāna
