Miscellaneous Notes
Similar to Cat. no. 65.2. This text contains 22 śloka-s. The colophon tells that this forms part of the kāraṇāgama. The printed edn. (CP) of the kāraṇāgama ch.29 contains an account of this topic (śloka-s 60-96a); but the text under notice has very little agreement with the printed text
