Miscellaneous Notes
This text contains the procedure of worshipping skanda. In the margin of fol. 66a, it is written "kumāratantre" which may mean that this manual is based on kumāratantra. The text under notice contains the worship of vallī and devasenā upto the weapon of skanda and hence seems to be incomplete
Manuscript Beginning
