Miscellaneous Notes
This text deals with the astrological details of various temple-rituals like installation and flag-hoisting. Suitable months, dates, asterisms etc. are discussed by quoting āgama texts such as kāraṇa, suprabheda, dīpta, svāyaṃbhuva, bhīmasaṃhitā, kālaprakā'sikā, etc. This seems to be a manual for reference
