Manuscript Features

This MS is wrongly mentioned as a MTM giving two titles; Guhyakālīstotra? and Tārāṣṭaka in PTL. But the MS does not bear two titles. It contains the Tārāṣṭaka only.

The end-leaf is microfilmed twice; one appears in-between exps. 5 and 7 (as exp. 6) and next is placed in its proper place.
