This text contains 30 paṭala-s of the svāyambhuvāgama. This text starts with an incomplete version of the sakalārcanavidhi. The colophons of 15 paṭala-s refer to the svāyambhuva as the source, 3 to the uttara-svāyambhuva and the remaining 12, to none. But we can surmise that they too have the svāyambhuvāgama as their source because the speaker is rudra and the listner is nidhaneśa
