Miscellaneous Notes
Same as Cat. no. 75.9. This text begins with an adress to ravisattama which suggests that the text belongs to aṃśumadāgama; but IFI.T. nos.6, 273 and 1007 and aṃśumat do not agree with the text. Towards the end, the name candrajñāna occurs indicating that this text is part of the candrajñānāgama but IFI.T. nos. 12 and 273 candrajñāna treat this topic in a manner different from this text. However the colophon indicates that it is a part of sakalāgamasaṃgraha and as such it is a collection of verses from different āgama-s. Fol.33 contains some śloka-s in praise of deities like vighneśvara and others
