Description
A text dedicated to the Divine Mother Goddess (Devī), this work embodies the essence of Śākta philosophy. It is extracted from the Atharvaśīrṣa Upaniṣad. It is believed that the chanting of this text removes all sins, protects one from all crises, grants liberation, and bestows many other benefits. This text is similar to Item 1218. (The cover (f.1a) and (f. 8b), probably written in another hand, refer to the text as Devi Atharva. Mistakenly cataloged by Poleman as Devyarthaśīrṣa.; Written 7 lines per leaf.; Good condition. Lengthy addition on f. 5b. Mistakes covered over with yellow.)
