This concertina manuscript is incomplete, so it is not possible to tell whether the recto and verso contain separate texts or parts of a continuous text. Here they are dealt with separately. The text on the recto is a confession prayer addressed to the Buddhas and bodhisattvas, without any tantric terminology.
