അപ്പയ്യദീക്ഷിതരുടേ സിദ്ധാന്തലേശസംഗ്രഹവും പിന്നേ ചേറിയ പല ഗ്രന്ഥങ്ങളും
Scope & Content:
A bundle mainly containing Appayya Dīkṣita's work, together with an Upaniṣad and ritual instructions about Cāturmasya. We may infer from this that the manuscript may have been used by a saṃnyāsin (possibly connected to the Sāmaveda) residing in the Thrissur Madham for private study. The bundle i...
