Description

This is a composite manuscript containing 43 Upaniṣadic texts, including both major and minor Upaniṣads. A few of the texts are incomplete. The contents include:

Muṇḍakopaniṣad (f. 1b–8a)

Praśnopaniṣad (f. 8a–15a)

Brahmavidyopaniṣad (f. 15a–16a)

Unidentified text (f. 17b–18b), likely due to missing folia and the absence of a colophon

Atharvaśīrṣopaniṣad (f. 24a–24b); folia between 18b and 24a are missing, so the text is incomplete. This is a hymn in praise of Lord Śiva, and is also referred to as Śivātharva
