f. 1: Śrīsamvarayā dhyāna
f. 2b: Vajravārāhī dhyānaḥ
f. 3: Śrīvajranairātmā dhyānaḥ, Candramāhāroṣaṇa dhyānaḥ
f. 4: Yogāmvadayāgu dhyānaḥ, Śrīvajrasatvayāgu dhyāna
f. 5: Śrīmañjuvajrayāgu dhyānaḥ, Chāskāmaniyā dhyāna

It suggests that the practitioner is visualizing the form of these deities in their inner mind and engaging in Dhyana (meditation).
The last part, Śrī āryāvalokiteśvara dhyānaḥ, was written with a modern pen. Furthermore, the Mañjuśrī dhyāna only lists its name without detailing the deity's form.
The text is written on modern copy paper and originally had no folio numbers; the mentioned numbering was provided by Prof. Shankar Thapa. It is easily readable. Although the text itself is complete, the manuscript is incomplete.
