Miscellaneous Notes
This text deals with the procedure of installation of vīrabhadra, a form of śiva. According to the colophon, it forms part of the sahasrāgama, the 8th mūlāgama. This agrees well with IFI.Tṇo.33. pp.173-179, ch.36. Fol.109b contains vīrabhadradhyāna and fol. 110 contains vīrabhadramantra with nyāsa and āvaraṇa
