Miscellaneous Notes
This text deals with mūrdheṣṭakāvidhi, a ritual consisting of placing the last brick on the top and it is performed towards the conlusion of temple building. The treatment contined here agrees with that in the suprabhedāgama (CP), kriyāpāda, Ch. 32. The beginning portion in the text corresponds to śloka 19a; thus it has an abrupt beginning. The colophon in the next mentions the ch. as 31
Manuscript Beginning
navaratnāni vinyapi (si) tvā pūrvoktenaiva mārgataḥ। īśānena tu mantreṇa sthūpiṃ tatraiva vinyaset॥ sthapatiśeṣakarmāṇi kārayettu yathā dhṛḍham। sthāpako mantrayogyastu sthapatiḥ karmayogyakaḥ॥ śikharordhve tu saṃsthāpya pañcabhāgatribhāgikam। ardhabhāgan tu cādṛ'syaṃ sthūpyā(a)śeṣantu bandhayet॥
Manuscript Ending
kuryāt sarvaṃ yatroddiṣṭaṃ vidhinā deśikottamaḥ। vimānasthāpanopetaṃ mūrdhneṣṭakāvidhiṃ stavā (tataḥ)॥ ata urdhvaṃ pravakṣyāi śṛṇu liṅgasya lakṣaṇam॥ iti suprabhede pratiṣṭhātantre kriyāpāde mūrdhneṣṭakāpaṭalaḥ ekatriṃśat॥
