Mackenzie VIII 53b

Fragments of works on astrology and ritual, originally intermingled with the Kālaprakāśīkā of Nṛsiṃha

Contents

Language(s): Sanskrit, tam

arranged in order of leaves.

A new treatise begins fol. 173: hariḥ oṃ | śubhamastu |.

The last section deals with Grahacāra, but breaks off in fol. 191v; fol. 193 is on the same topic, and the last two leaves contain fragments.

All these parts are injured and incorrect.
