Description

Caraṇavyūha mentions the fourfold methods for reciting Ṛgveda of all the five śākhas among which Śāṅkhāyana - śākhā comes at the second place. The fourfold methods of recitation, according to Caraṇavyūha are — Saṁhitā pārāyaṇa , Jaṭa pārāyaṇa, Pada pārāyaṇa , Daṇḍa pārāyaṇa. When the Caraṇavyūha prescribes the fourfold methods of all the five Samhitas, it accepts the existence of the Śānkhāyana-Saṁhitā because in the absence of the saṁhitā text the prescription for fourfold recitations would be baseless.
This Ms. is written 15–16 lines per folio. Cover and back page are blank. Title present in the begining of the text. Mistakes are covered with yellow. Some marginal corrections are present. Significant syllables and words rubbed with orange powder for highlighting.
