Miscellaneous Notes
The procedure given here for kṛttikādīpa is similar to that found in IFP.T.40, pp. 219-226. Since the colophon reads "iti kāraṇe pratiṣṭhātantre svāyambhuve kṛttikādīpavidhipaṭalaḥ the treatment may be based on both these āgama-s or the word śvāyambhuve" might have been placed instead of śvāyambhuva", meaning, the said kṛttikādīpa is for a svāyambhuvaliṅga. For similar nomenclature see no. 386.29
