This text contains the procedure for worshipping the yāgamaṇḍapa or yāgaśālā as iti is commonly called. The rituals such as maṇḍapapūjā, yāgeśvarakumbha, yāgeśakumbhapūjā, aṣṭadaśasaṃskāra which are dealt with in this text seem to be the preliminaries of the agnikārya which follows in the subsequent folios. This text again seems to be a manual for the use of priests
