Miscellaneous Notes
This text contains the procedure for daily worship to śiva. This matter is dealt with in ch. 30 of the kāraṇāgama (pūrva) - printed edn. CP. The text agrees with the printed edn. but there is also divergence between the two in the matter of the passages found in one and missing in the other and in the sequential order of the passages. Besides, the text has no colophon
Manuscript Beginning
vakṣye nityārcanaṃ puṇyaṃ śubhadaṃ pāpanāśanam। mahāpātakado(ṣa)ghnaṃ sarvayajñaphalapradam॥ akāram arcanaṃ proktaṃ rakāraṃ dravyasaṃyutam। naikāramantrasaṃyuktam arcanārcar......kīrtitam॥ anyārthañ ca parārthañ ca pūjā dividham ucyate। datte ca guruṇā liṅge sthaṇḍile svayam ātmane(i)॥
Manuscript Ending
saṃhitāñ ca tataḥ pūjya gandhapuṣpādibhiḥ kramāt। evaṃ krameṇa vidhivat yajanaṃ cottamaṃ bhavet॥ haviṣyāntam aśaktaś cet dīpāntaṃ vāpi pūjayet। evaṃ tataḥ pūjayen nityaṃ sa puṇyāṃ gatim āpnuyāt॥
