Miscellaneous Notes
This text briefly speaks about the way of rendering service to god for other's sake. This is otherwise known as parārthapūjā. Acts that are prohibited in the temple, vegetables to be avoided in meals(?) and matters concerning rituals like aṣṭāṅganamaskāra are some of the topics that are treated. Tamil explanations are also found at a few places
