Miscellaneous Notes
This text states the kind of bali (offerings in the form of flowers and food) on each day of the festival lasting for 12 days. The colophon makes the kāraṇāgama as the source for this treatment. This text has agreement with śloka-s 136-155a but there are also differences in the readings
