Miscellaneous Notes
This anonymous text is a manual on daily ritual. There are profouse citations from a large number of āgama texts and the author also refers to texts like the siddhāntasārāvali, the somaśambhupaddhati, the śivapūjāstava and its commentary. Some of the intricate points like the importance of sūryapūjā and making śiva face the worshipper during worship are discussed in detail. Many folios are lost whic contined original numbers at the beginning and in the middle of the text and it now starts with the six kinds of bath and proceeds with bhasmotpatti, bhasmadhāraṇa, pañcaśuddhi, āvāhana and prāyaścitta. The portion dealing with the āvāhana ends abruptly and prāyaścittavidhi is comenced
