Miscellaneous Notes

In fact, the text on the beginning folios (1 - 4) has been scribed in different handwriting and the physical appearance of those folios seem different than the appearance of folios 5 - 32, which costitute the main portion of this text. But despite these differences this bunch of folios (1 - 4) have been included in this text because of the similar subject matter, which it share with the main bunch (5-32). After this text, folios 33 - 39 record fragments of different texts viz. dhvajastambhadhyāna, certain nāmāvalī, kāñcīsthānamāhātmya [32rd] chapter etc
