Miscellaneous Notes
These 3 paṭala-s of the āgama deal with the procedure for the installation of the vimān for śiva, devī and sarvadeva respectively. Among them the first, mentioned paṭala forms part of the kāraṇāgama IFI.T. 451. pp.107-117 though the colophon on fol. 121a mentions the suprabhedāgama as its source. The printed edn of this āgama does not contain the treatment of this topic. The 2nd topic is found in IFI.T.451 pp. 117-126, and is not found in the printed text, the third topic differs much from the printed edns. and is not traceable to any Ms. of IFI
