Manuscript Features

The title of the text mentioned in this catalogue entry is based on previous catalogue cards and PTL. From a cursory observation of the text, we are only able to say that this text is about a certain Vaiṣṇava ritual manual.

Fols. 15–16, 22, 31–32, 34 and 38–39 are available.

Barring fols. 38 and 39, the MS is badly damaged with the considerable loss of the text.
