This text contains five chapters: 1. fols. [36a-38b]:yāmalabheda and mātṛpūjāvidhi; 2. [38b-40a] mātṛpūjādhikāra and nityavidhi; 3. [40a-42a] mātṛdīkṣākrama and pañcācāryalakṣaṇa; 4. [42a-43b]: dīkṣāsaṃkaradoṣa; 5. [43b-48b]: mantroddhāravidhi (incomplete). Since fols. are missing the nityavidhi section may be incomplete. The word 'lakṣapādādhike' occuring in the colophons may be taken to mean more than one lakh verse quarters, that is, more than 25000 ślokas. This text assigns itself to the vidyāpīṭha. This is also said to have 87 parts. There are five chapters of which the first is numbered 1; the third, 25; the fourth, 5. The second and fifth are not assigned numbers. Though the folios are arranged in order the numbering of the chapters is not consecutive
