Miscellaneous Notes

This text forms part of svacchandabhairava, which is called svacchandalalitabhairava. For details see note on no. 163.2. The colophon on fol. 12b, mentions that the pramāṇa meaning measurement is treated there. What follows from fol. 12b to 15a deal with mānāṅgula. mātrāṅgula and dehalabdhāṅgula. Of these, treatment of mānāṅgula is detailed. This topic is not found in the printed edition (KSTS). The matter dealt with on fols. 12b-15a does not have the colophon and so may be taken to be incomplete. There is noevidence to show that this portion is a part of svacchandabhairava
